Control plane

The configuration of the L2TPv3 control plane is similar to that of L2TPv2. A number of the same commands are used for both, but there are new commands specific to L2TPv3. The L2TPv3-specific commands are located in a separate L2TPv3 context in both the general configuration area as well as within the group configuration context.

L2TPv3 control plane parameters can be configured at the global level within the config>router>l2tp context, which may include some L2TPv3-specific parameters. This should be used for parameters that are the same for the majority of L2TPv3 tunnels. The same parameters can be configured on a per-tunnel group basis. The tunnel group can be configured within either the base router context or a VPRN service context.

The following example displays an L2TPv3 tunnel group configured within the base routing context:

configure
        router
            l2tp
                l2tpv3
                    cookie-length 8
                    digest-type sha1
                    nonce-length 64
                    transport-type ip
                    exit
                group "base l2tpv3 left" protocol v3draft create
                    avp-hiding never
                    eth-tunnel
                        reconnect-timeout 60
                        exit
                    l2tpv3
                        pw-cap-list ethernet ethernet-vlan
                        password "AbkdpF.rY1FgcK4qAYmim sykdmwbAucq" hash2
                        exit
                    password "rhXAlJTUjuliBn8lVUf KJywztX9cKOEb/rbWUR/e4ow" hash2
                    tunnel "base l2tpv3 tunnel" create

                        peer 192.168.0.100
                        no shutdown
                        exit
                    no shutdown
                exit
