Usage Guidelines

After the device sends an L2TP packet to the peer through an L2TP tunnel, if no response is received within the time-out period, the device retransmits the packet.

If a large number of L2TP tunnels are established, it is recommended that the timeout period for L2TP packet retransmission be set to 5 seconds.

Example

# Set the timeout period for L2TP packet retransmission to 3 seconds for the L2TP group named huawei.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[~HUAWEI] l2tp-group huawei
[*HUAWEI-l2tp-huawei] tunnel timeout 3
