Handling PPP Link Negotiation Failures

The connection between the router or switch, acting as an LNS, and a third party peer, acting as an LAC, can sometimes fail during PPP link negotiation. Frequent negotiation failures can indicate a compatibility problem between the third party peer and Proxy Authentication responses from the router or switch. You can now disable Proxy Authentication on the router or switch for situations where the third party equipment is not compatible. Use proxyauth=off in the command:

add l2tp ip=ipadd[-ipadd] ppptemplate=0..31 [number={offonstartup}] [pre13={offon}]

[proxyauth={offon}]

[tosreflect={offonfalsetruenoyes}]

The default for proxyauth is on. Proxy Authentication should not be disabled unless necessary.

Command Changes

The following table summarises the modified commands:

Command	Change
add l2tp ip	New proxyauth parameter.
show l2tp ip	New Proxy Authentication parameter in output.
