Configuring Pptp Or L2Tp - SMC Networks ELITECONNECT SMC2502W User Manual

If you choose the shared secret, all users at this location must enter the specified
shared secret when establishing their PPTP tunnel. The WLAN Security System
only uses the PPTP authentication to set up the PPTP connection. The user is
required to authenticate to the WLAN Security System through the usual web-
based logon page.
Note:
Since Microsoft links L2TP with L2TP IPSec, the WLAN Security System only supports
L2TP on IPsec. Enabling or requiring implicitly enables or allows use of IPSec.
3.2.1

Configuring PPTP or L2TP

To configure PPTP and L2TP:
Step 1.
Click PPTP and L2TP Configuration from the Main menu.
The PPTP and L2TP Configuration appears, as shown in
Step 2.
Click Yes for Enable PPTP, if appropriate.
Step 3.
Click Yes for Enable L2TP, if appropriate.
Step 4.
Click the appropriate method to assign an IP address to the IP client.
Since PPTP and L2TP are based on the remote access protocol PPP, it
expects the server to provide an IP address to a client when the
PPTP/L2TP connection is established. There are two ways to do this in
the WLAN Security System. You can either request the system to assign
an IP address from a pre-selected range of IP addresses or you can let an
external DHCP server assign as an IP address.
Step 5.
If you clicked IP address range, type the appropriate IP address range for
your enterprise network.
