(Optional) Disabling L2TP Traffic Protection

In some L2TP hot backup scenarios, L2TP traffic protection can be disabled to prevent traffic switching from affecting customer services.

Context

On a high-bandwidth network, traffic switching does not affect customer services. In this situation, you do not need to disable L2TP traffic protection.

However, on a low-bandwidth network where L2TP hot backup is configured, if a fault occurs on the access side, traffic is switched to a backup device through an L2TP protection tunnel. The traffic switching may worsen network congestion, affecting customer services, such as fixed-line services. To prevent traffic switching, L2TP traffic protection needs to be disabled to prevent establishment of any L2TP protection tunnel.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run remote-backup-service service-name

    The RBS view is displayed.

  3. Run l2tp protect-tunnel disable

    L2TP traffic protection is disabled.

  4. Run commit

    The configuration is committed.
