General

To define an L2TPV3 configuration for a profile:

1. Select Configuration > Profiles > Network.

2. Expand the Network menu to display its submenu options.

3. Expand the Network menu and select L2TPv3.

   The General tab displays by default with additional L2RPv3 Tunnel and Manual Session tabs available.

   

4. Set the following General Settings for a L2TPv3 profile configuration:

   Host Name	Define a 64 character maximum host name to specify the name of the host that's sent tunnel messages. Tunnel establishment involves exchanging 3 message types (SCCRQ, SCCRP and SCCN) with the peer. Tunnel IDs and capabilities are exchanged during the tunnel establishment with the host.
   Router ID	Set either the numeric IP address or the integer used as an identifier for tunnel AVP messages. AVP messages assist in the identification of a tunneled peer.
   UDP Listen Port	Select this option to set the virtual port used for listening to incoming traffic. Select a port from 1,024 - 65,353.
   Device Type	Select this option to enable or disable bridge packets between two tunnel end points. This setting is disabled by default.

5. Select OK to save the changes. Select Reset to revert to the last saved configuration.
