Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

On creating an L2TP group, the local name of a tunnel is initiated to the device name.

The tunnel name command specifies other names as the local name.

To configure a tunnel name based on a specified LNS IP address, specify the lns-ip parameter.

The tunnel name is used when the LAC and LNS negotiate tunnel parameters. Different tunnel authentication modes have different requirements for the tunnel name.

In local tunnel authentication mode, the LAC and LNS do not require the tunnel name. Only the tunnel password is used. The LNS selects an L2TP group to respond to the connection request of the LAC according to the tunnel name. Ensure that the tunnel name configured on the LAC is the same as the peer tunnel name configured on the LNS. You do not need to configure the local tunnel name on the LNS.
In AAA authentication mode, the LAC and LNS consider the L2TP tunnel as a user, so the tunnel name must be in the format of username.

Precautions

During configuration of a tunnel name based on the LNS address, the IP address must be specified using the start l2tp ip command. Otherwise, the function does not take effect.

Example

# Set the local name of a tunnel as itsme.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[~HUAWEI] l2tp-group 1
[*HUAWEI-l2tp-1] tunnel name itsme
