  • 1.  L2TP LNS to LAC naming

    Hi,

     

    I am sure I have asked this and believe I have the configuraiton right but could some please confirm if this configuration is correct:

     

    If the downstream ISP does not use naming for the LAC to LNS details and we have to use "default" as the naming convention, is the following configuration correct:

    set access profile l2tp-profile client default l2tp maximum-sessions-per-tunnel 4000
    set access profile l2tp-profile client default l2tp interface-id l2tp-encapsulation
    set access profile l2tp-profile client default l2tp shared-secret "$9$5T6AB1hrK8Ec87dsJZqmfTn/Ap0IhS"
    set access profile l2tp-profile client default user-group-profile l2tp-group-profile

     

    Thanks

    I have found the answer to my own question. Apologies for disturbing you guys...... Here is Junipers view:

     

    Note: Use default as the client name when you want to define a default tunnel client. The default client enables the authentication of multiple LACs with the same secret and L2TP attributes. This behavior is useful when, for example, many new LACs are added to the network, because it enables the LACs to be used without additional LNS profile configuration.

    Use default only on MX Series routers. The equivalent client name on M Series routers is *.
