General

To define an L2TPV3 configuration for a profile:

1. Select Configuration → Profiles.

2. Expand the Network menu and select L2TPv3.

   The General tab displays by default.

   

   

3. 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.

4. In the Logging Settings filed, configure the following settings:

   Enable Logging	Select this option to enable the logging of Ethernet frame events to and from bridge VLANs and physical ports on a defined IP address, host or router ID. This setting is disabled by default.
   IP Address	Optionally use a peer tunnel ID address to capture and log L2TPv3 events.
   Hostname	If not using an IP address for event logging, optionally use a peer tunnel hostname to capture and log L2TPv3 events.
   Router ID	If not using an IP address or a hostname for event logging, use a router ID to capture and log L2TPv3 events.

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