Configuring a Basic L2TP VPN in the CLI

Use the following procedures to use the command-line interface to configure a remote access VPN for L2TP IPsec.

1. Define the authentication method and server addresses:

(host)(config) #vpdn group l2tp enable

client configuration {dnswins} <ipaddr1> [<ipaddr2>]

2. Enable authentication methods for IKEv1 clients

vpdn group l2tp ppp authentication {cache-securidchapeapmschapmschapv2pap

3.Create address pools:

(host)(config) #ip local pool <pool> <start-ipaddr> <end-ipaddr>

4.Configure source NAT

(host)(config) #ip access-list session srcnatuser any any src-nat pool <pool> position 1

5.If you are configuring a VPN to support machine authentication using certificates, define server certificates for VPN clients using IKEv1.

For IKEv1: (host)(config) #crypto-local isakmp server-certificate <cert>

6.If you are configuring a VPN to support IKEv1 Clients using pre-shared keys, you can configure a global IKE key by entering 0.0.0.0 for both the address and netmask parameters in the command below, or configure an IKE key for an individual subnet by specifying the IP address and netmask for that subnet.

crypto isakmp key <key> address <ipaddr> netmask <mask>

7.Define IKE Policies:

(host)(config) #crypto isakmp policy <priority> encryption {3desaes128aes192aes256des} version v1v2

authentication {pre-sharersa-sigecdsa-256ecdsa-384} group {121920}

hash {md5shasha1-96sha2-256-128sha2-384-192} lifetime <seconds>

Configuring a VPN for L2TP/IPsec with IKEv2 in the WebUI

Only clients running Windows 7, StrongSwan 4.3 and Dell VIA support IKEv2. For additional information on the authentication types supported by these clients, see “"Working with IKEv2 Clients " on page 273”.

Use the following procedures to in the WebUI configure a remote access VPN for IKEv2 clients using certificates.
