l2tpv3

Profile Config Commands

Defines the L2TPV3 settings for tunneling layer 2 payloads using VPNs

L2TPv3 is an IETF standard that defines the control and encapsulation protocol settings for tunneling layer 2 frames in an IP network (and access point profile) between two IP nodes. Use L2TPv3 to create tunnels for transporting layer 2 frames. L2TPv3 enables WiNG supported controllers and access points to create tunnels for transporting Ethernet frames to and from bridge VLANs and physical ports. L2TPv3 tunnels can be defined between WiNG devices and other vendor devices supporting the L2TPv3 protocol.

Supported on the following devices:

Syntax

l2tpv3 [hostname <HOSTNAME>|inter-tunnel-bridging|logging|manual-session|router-id [<1-4294967295>|<IP]|tunnel|udp-listen-port <1024-65535>]
l2tpv3 logging ip-address [<IP>|any] hostname [<HOSTNAME>|any] router-id [<IP>|<WORD>|any]

Parameters

l2tpv3 [hostname <HOSTNAME>|inter-tunnel-bridging|manual-session|
router-id [<1-4294967295>|<IP>]|tunnel|udp-listen-port <1024-65535>]
l2tpv3 Configures the L2TPv3 protocol settings for a profile
hostname <HOSTNAME> Configures the host name sent in the L2TPv3 signaling 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.
  • <HOSTNAME> – Specify the L2TPv3 specific host name.
inter-tunnel-bridging Enables inter tunnel bridging of packets. This feature is disabled by default.
manual-session Creates/modifies L2TPv3 manual sessions

For more information, see l2tpv3-manual-session-commands.
router-id [<1-4294967295>| <IP>] Configures the router ID (either the numeric IP address or the integer) sent in the L2TPv3 signaling messages. These signaling (AVP) messages help to identify tunneled peers.
  • <1-4294967295> – Configures the router ID in decimal format from 1 - 4294967295
  • <IP> – Configures the router ID in the IP address (A.B.C.D) format
tunnel Creates/modifies an L2TPv3 tunnel

For more information, see l2tpv3-tunnel-commands.
udp-listen-port <1024-65535> Configures the UDP port used to listen for incoming traffic
  • <1024-65535> – Specify the UDP port from 1024 - 65535 (default is 1701)
 
l2tpv3 logging ip-address [<IP>|any] hostname [<HOSTNAME>|any] router-id [<IP>|<WORD>|any]
l2tpv3 Configures L2TPv3 protocol settings for a profile
logging Enables L2TPv3 tunnel event logging and debugging. When enabled, all events relating to Ethernet frames to and from bridge VLANs and physical ports on a specified IP address, host or router ID are logged. This option is disabled by default.
ip-address [<IP>|any] Configures the L2TPv3 peer tunnel IP address for which event logging is enabled. The options are:
  • <IP> – Specify the peer‘s IP address. L2TPv3 events are captured and logged for the specified peer.
  • any – Peer‘s IP address is not specified. Enables event logging for all incoming connections from any IP address.
hostname [<HOSTNAME>| any] Configures the L2TPv3 peer tunnel hostname for which event logging is enabled. The options are:
  • <HOSTNAME> – Specify the peer‘s host name. L2TPv3 events are captured and logged for specified host.
  • any – Peer‘s hostname is not specified. Enables debugging for all incoming connections from any host.
router-id [<IP>|<WORD>|any] Configures the L2TPv3 tunnel router ID for which event logging is enabled. The options are:
  • <IP> – Specify the router ID in the IP address format.
  • <WORD> – Specify the router ID in the form of an integer or range. For example 100-200.
  • any – Router ID is not specified. Enables debugging for all incoming connections from any L2TPv3 router.
