L2TP

L2PT, or Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol is a VPN protocol that will ensure a
direct connection to the server using an authentication process that
guarantees the data originated from the claimed sender and was not
damaged or altered in transit. Once connected to the VPN tunnel, it
seems to the user that the client computer is directly connected to the
internal network. To set up your L2PT connection, enter the data that was
provided to you by your ISP.
There are two ways to enable the router to become a L2TP client, one is
through assigning the router an IP address dynamically, which means that
the DHCP protocol will be implemented by the Router to automatically
configure the IP settings. The user may input the IP settings manually by
choosing the Static IP option above the configuring area. To configure the
router to be a L2TP client, complete the following fields and click the Save
Settings button.
See table on previous page for parameter description.
