PPP
Authentication
Configuration
Authentication
Method
Select the authentication method for PPP users on the local end.
You can select None, PAP, or CHAP. None means no authentication is
performed.
ISP Domain
Specify the ISP domain for PPP user authentication. You can perform the
following configurations:
You can add an ISP domain and modify or delete a selected ISP domain by
using the Add, Modify, and Delete buttons. For information about how to
add an ISP domain, see "Configuring an ISP domain."
PPP Address
PPP Server
IP/Mask
Specify the IP address and mask of the local end, or the IP address and
mask of the VT interface created.
PPP Server
Zone
Specify the security zone to which the local end belongs, or the security
zone to which the VT interface belongs.
The security zone cannot be a management security zone. Otherwise, you
cannot build an L2TP tunnel.
User Address
Specify the address pool for assigning IP addresses to PPP users or assign
an IP address to a PPP user directly.
You can enter an IP address or select an address pool. You can add an
address pool and modify or delete a selected address pool by using the
Add, Modify, and Delete buttons. For information about how to add an
address pool, see "Specifying an IP address pool."
If you select Auto Assigned for User Address for PPP users that need to
authenticated, all the address
pools in the relevant domain are used in
ascending order of pool number for IP address allocation.
Assign Address
Forcibly
Specify whether to force the peer end to use the IP address assigned by the
local end. If you enable this function, the peer end is not allowed to use its
locally configured IP address.
Advanced
Configuration
Hello Interval
Specify the interval between sending hello packets.
To check the connectivity of a tunnel, the LAC and LNS regularly send Hello
packets to each other. When receiving a Hello packet, the LAC/LNS
returns a response packet. If the LAC or LNS receives no Hello response
packet from the peer within a specific period of time, it retransmits the
Hello packet. If it receives no response packet from the peer after
transmitting the Hello packet for three times, it considers that the L2TP
tunnel is down and tries to re-establish a tunnel with the peer.
The Hello intervals on the LAC and LNS ends of the tunnel can be different.
AVP Hidden
Specify whether to transfer AVP data in hidden mode.
With L2TP, some parameters are transferred as AVP data. You can
configure an LAC to transfer AVP data in hidden mode, so that AVP data is
encrypted before transmission for higher security.
This configuration is invalid on an LNS. The device cannot resolve hidden
challenge AVPs/challenge response AVPs.
Flow Control
Specify whether to enable flow control for the L2TP tunnel.
The L2TP tunnel flow control function is for control of data packets in
transmission. The flow control function helps in buffering and adjusting the
received out-of-order data packets.
Mandatory
CHAP
Specify user authentication on the LNS end.
