Router Installation and Configuration Manual/Configuring L2TP as LAC

From ImageStream Router Documentation

While support for L2TP Access Concentrator (LAC) mode is incomplete, L2TP tunnels and PPP sessions can be manually established to remote L2TP Network Servers (LNS).

L2TP commands must be placed in the local startup script (rc.local) which can be edited from the main menu option 1 (Configuration Menu) => option 1 (Global configuration) => option 4 (Configure rc.local).

Client configuration

rc.local:

!/bin/sh
################################################################################
# rc.local file, use this to setup your boot-time configuration.               #
################################################################################

Extract l2tp
rpc.portmap
modprobe pppol2tp
openl2tpd -u 1701
l2tpconfig ppp profile modify profile_name=default default_route=yes options_file=/etc/l2tp.opts
l2tpconfig tunnel create tunnel_name=tun1 dest_ipaddr=205.159.243.1 secret=mypass persist=yes
l2tpconfig session create tunnel_name=tun1 user_name=client1 user_password=clientpass

Enter the following command from the command line (bash shell) to create the options file that allows the pppd daemon to persist after termination:

client1:/usr/local/sand# echo "persist" > /etc/l2tp.opts

To start up the tunnel and PPP session enter the following command:

client1:/usr/local/sand# /etc/rc.d/rc.local
Extracting l2tp... done
Modified ppp profile default
Created tunnel 47619
Created session 61046 on tunnel tun1

Server configuration

The server will use a standard L2TP LNS mode configuration Router Installation and Configuration Manual/Configuring L2TP as LNS. For this example we will use local authentication instead of RADIUS using the user command in wan.conf.

user client1 password clientpass

interface Tunnel0
 tunnel mode l2tp
 tunnel peer name default
 tunnel local name gw01
 tunnel key mypass
 tunnel virtual-template 1
