Steps
 
1 

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.
