To configure an L2TPv3 service tunnel

Steps
 

Choose Manage→Service Tunnels from the NFM-P main menu. The Manage Service Tunnels form opens.


Click Create→L2TPv3 Tunnel (SDP) or select an existing L2TPv3 tunnel entry and click Properties. The L2TPv3 Tunnel (SDP) (Create) form opens.


Configure the parameters in the Identity panel.

If a range policy is applied to a service tunnel, a gray text box appears beside the ID parameter to indicate that a range policy is in effect.

If a format policy is applied to a service tunnel, a drop-down menu appears beside the object field during object creation to indicate that a format policy is in effect. When there is only one matching policy, the drop-down menu is dimmed. When there are multiple matching policies, use the drop-down menu to choose a policy. The sequence of the options in the drop-down menu are ordered by the policy Priority parameter.


Configure the parameters in the Source panel.

Use the following steps:

  1. Select a source site.

  2. Select a local end IP address.

    The local end IP address must be configured under a loopback network interface on the NE. The IPv6 Allowed and Loopback Enabled parameters must be enabled on the network interface of the NE.


Configure the parameters in the Destination panel.

Use the following steps:

  1. Select a destination site.

  2. Select a far end IP address.

    The destination end IP address must be configured under a loopback network interface on the NE. The IPv6 Allowed and Loopback Enabled parameters must be enabled on the network interface of the NE.


Configure the remaining parameters, as required.


Save your changes and close the form.
