During the L2TP session, the RADIUS server assigns the following IP addresses:
jsmart@baynetworks.com: 192.32.40.1
mmark@baynetworks.com: 192.32.40.2
These addresses are stored in the RADIUS server database.
Data Path Through the Network
After all components of the network are configured, jsmart can place a call to the local ISP. The LAC that receives this call sends the user name to the TMS, which verifies the domain name and address and sends this information back to the LAC so that it can forward the data.
The LAC then negotiates the initiation of the tunnel with the LNS, and the tunnel is brought up. The LNS then authenticates jsmart@baynetworks.com with the RADIUS server. After the RADIUS server grants access, it assigns the address
192.32.40.1to jsmart, to include the remote host (jsmart’s PC) in the virtual private network.
Data now passes through the tunnel from jsmart’s PC to the LNS for the duration of the L2TP session. When jsmart disconnects the call, the session is terminated. If no other active sessions are using the tunnel, the tunnel is brought down.
