Linux L2TP client xl2tpd installation configuration specific actions

Server environment: Centos 5.8 64-bit

1. Download XL2TP

Http://pkgs.org/search/?query=xl2tp&type=smart Select the appropriate version to download

2. Installing PPP and XL2TP

Yum Install PPP

Yum Install xl2tpd

3, Configuration xl2tpd.conf

File Address:/etc/xl2tpd/xl2tpd.conf

For insurance purposes, before modifying the configuration file, back up the original files, the original xl2tpd.conf [LNS default], this seems to be used as a XL2TPD L2TPD server key statement.

To use XL2TPD as a L2TP client, I deleted everything in xl2tpd.conf and added the following lines

Vi/etc/xl2tpd/xl2tpd.conf the following content directly into the inside, pay attention to fill in the VPN account and server address, save exit

[Lac Testvpn (VPN name)]

name = L2tp_user_name; L2TP account

LNS = 192.168.11.1; IP of the L2TP server

Pppoptfile =/ETC/PPP/PEERS/TESTVPN.L2TPD; PPPD the configuration file used when dialing

PPP debug = Yes

4. Set the dialing profile:

File path: xl2tpd.conf file in Pppoptfile =/etc/ppp/peers/testvpn.l2tpd

Edit with VI/ETC/PPP/PEERS/TESTVPN.L2TPD

Copy the following directly into the contents and save the exit

RemoteName Testvpn

User "L2tp_user_name" if the server is under Windows domain environment The wording should be "domain \ \ username" escaped with \ Pair \

Password "L2tp_user_password"

Unit 0

Lock

Nodeflate

Nobsdcomp

Noauth

Persist

Nopcomp

Noaccomp

Maxfail 5

Debug

5, the configuration files are built, you can start xl2tpd, note that the start does not mean dialing

Run the way 1:# xl2tpd-c "/your/config_file/path", if you use this method, to ensure the existence of/var/run/xl2tpd/this directory, actually see/etc/init.d/xl2tpd This file can also be seen, If it does not exist, the script will create this directory

Run Mode 2: Run/ETC/INIT.D/XL2TPD start, this startup mode will automatically find/etc/xl2tpd/xl2tpd.conf this configuration file,

6. Start Dialing:

# echo ' C Testvpn ' >/var/run/xl2tpd/l2tp-control

If the dial succeeds, a PPP0 interface can be seen through the ifconfig.

7. Disconnect:

# echo ' d testvpn ' >/var/run/xl2tpd/l2tp-control

8, start xl2tpd to dial, the whole process can view the log

Tail-f/var/log/message
