L2TP Access Configuration
An L2TP tunnel can be established to provide access services for enterprises, small-scale ISPs, and staff working on a mobile basis.
- Overview of L2TP Access
- Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) is a VPN tunneling protocol that allows remote users (such as enterprise branches and traveling staff) to securely communicate with private network servers over public networks (such as the Internet).
- Configuring a LAC
- To establish an L2TP tunnel between a LAC and an LNS, configuring the LAC, including starting an L2TP connection and setting tunnel parameters and an authentication mode for the LAC.
- Configuring an LNS
- To establish an L2TP tunnel between a LAC and an LNS, you need to configure an L2TP connection and set tunnel parameters and an authentication mode on the LNS.
- Configuring L2TP Tunnel Switching
- Networking modes are diverse. If a user accesses an LNS across several tunnels, configure L2TP tunnel switching on the intermediate devices.
- (Optional) Configuring L2TP HQoS
- L2TP HQoS helps refined control over the L2TP service traffic.
- (Optional) Adjusting L2TP Connection Parameters
- By adjusting L2TP connection parameters, you can flexibly control L2TP tunnel establishment and the interconnection between Huawei devices and non-Huawei devices.
- Maintaining L2TP
- You can maintain L2TP by disconnecting L2TP tunnels.
- Configuration Examples for L2TP Access
- This section provides several L2TP configuration examples.
