l2tpd.conf(5)                                                    l2tpd.conf(5)

NAME
       l2tpd.conf - L2TPD configuration file

DESCRIPTION
       The l2tpd.conf file contains configuration information for l2tpd, the
       implementation of l2tp protocol.

       The configuration file is composed of sections and parameters. Each
       section has a given name which will be used when using the
       configuration FIFO (normaly /var/run/l2tp-control). See l2tpd.8  for
       more details.

       The specific given name default will specify parameters applicables for
       all the following sections.

GLOBAL SECTION
       auth file
              Specify where to find the authentication file used to
              authenticate l2tp tunnels. The default is
              /usr/local/etc/l2tp/l2tp-secrets.

       Address
              Specify which IP address l2tpd should use. The default is all
              addresses.

       Port   Specify which udp port l2tpd should use. The default is 1701.

       access control
              If set to use, the l2tpd process will only accept connections
              from peers addresses specified in the following sections. CHECK

LNS SECTION
       exclusive
              If set to yes, only one control tunnel will be allowed to be
              built between 2 peers. CHECK

       (no) ip range
              Specify the range of ip addresses the LNS will assign to the
              connecting LAC PPP tunnels. Multiple ranges can be defined.
              Using the 'no' statement disallows the use of that particular
              range.  Ranges are defined using the format IP - IP (example:
              1.1.1.1 - 1.1.1.10)

       (no) lac
              Specify the ip addresses of LAC's which are allowed to connect
              to l2tpd acting as a LNS. The format is the same as the ip range
              option.

       hidden bit
              If set to yes, l2tpd will use the AVP hiding feature of L2TP. To
              get more information about hidden AVP's and AVP in general,
              refer to rfc2661 (add URL?)

       local ip
              Use the following IP as l2tpd's own ip address.

       length bit
              If set to yes, the length bit present in the l2tp packet payload
              will be used.

       (refuse | require) chap
              Will require or refuse the remote peer to get authenticated via
              CHAP for the ppp authentication.

       (refuse | require) pap
              Will require or refuse the remote peer to get authenticated via
              PAP for the ppp authentication.

       (refuse | require) authentication
              Will require or refuse the remote peer to authenticate itself.

       unix authentication
              If set to yes, /etc/passwd will be used for remote peer ppp
              authentication.

       hostname
              Will report this as the l2tpd hostname in negociation.

       ppp debug
              This will enable the debug for pppd.

       pppoptfile
              Specify the path for a file which contains pppd configuration
              parameters to be used.

       call rws
              This option is deprecated and no longer functions.  It used to
              be used to define the flow control window size for individual
              L2TP calls or sessions.  The L2TP standard (RFC2661) no longer
              defines flow control or window sizes on calls or sessions.

       tunnel rws
              This defines the window size of the control channel.  The window
              size is defined as the number of outstanding unacknowledged
              packets, not as a number of bytes.

       flow bits
              If set to yes, sequence numbers will be included in the
              communication.  The feature to use sequence numbers in sessions
              is currently broken and does not function.

       challenge
              If set to yes, use challenge authentication to authenticate
              peer.

LAC SECTION
       The following are LAC specific configuration flags. Most of those
       described in the LNS section may be used in a LAC context, where it
       make common sense (essentially l2tp procotols tuning flags and
       authentication / ppp related ones).

       lns    Set the dns name or ip address of the LNS to connect to.

       redial If set to yes, l2tpd will attemps to redial if the call get
              disconected.

       redial timeout
              Wait X seconds before redial. The redial option must be set to
              yes to use this option.

       max redial
              Will give up redial tries after X attempts.
