Public SAP

The public SAP is the access interface to the L2TPv3 tunnel over which encapsulated traffic is sent to or received from the far end. The IP address bound to this SAP is on the same subnet as the local L2TPv3 tunnel endpoint.

The public SAP must be configured in the same routing context as the L2TPv3 tunnel group configuration. As shown in Figure: L2TPv3 support for IP transport, the public SAP can be associated with an IES or VPRN service to connect to the outside or public access network.

The following example displays an L2TPv3 public SAP configured within the base routing context:

configure
        service
            ies 10
                interface "l2tp-public-interface" create
                    address 172.16.0.1/24
                    sap tunnel-1.public:2 create
                    exit
                exit
