Configuring L2TP

PPTP and L2TP VPN

 

 

7In the Connect window, select Properties.

8Select the Security tab.

9Make sure that Require data encryption is selected.

Note: If a RADIUS server is used for authentication do not select Require data encryption.

L2TP encryption is not supported for RADIUS server authentication.

10Select the Networking tab.

11Set VPN server type to Layer-2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP).

12Save the changes and continue with the following procedure.

To disable IPSec

1Select the Networking tab.

2Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) properties.

3Double-click the Advanced tab.

4Go to the Options tab and select IP security properties.

5Make sure that Do not use IPSEC is selected.

6Select OK and close the connection properties window.

Note: The default Windows 2000 L2TP traffic policy does not allow L2TP traffic without IPSec encryption. You can disable default behavior by editing the Windows 2000 Registry as described in the following steps. See the Microsoft documentation for editing the Windows Registry.

7Use the registry editor (regedit) to locate the following key in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Rasman\ Parameters

8Add the following registry value to this key:

Value Name: ProhibitIpSec

Data Type: REG_DWORD

Value: 1

9Save the changes and restart the computer for the changes to take effect.

You must add the ProhibitIpSec registry value to each Windows 2000-based endpoint computer of an L2TP or IPSec connection to prevent the automatic filter for L2TP and IPSec traffic from being created. When the ProhibitIpSec registry value is set to 1, your Windows 2000-based computer does not create the automatic filter that uses CA authentication. Instead, it checks for a local or active directory IPSec policy.

To connect to the L2TP VPN

1Start the dialup connection that you configured in the previous procedure.

2Enter your L2TP VPN User Name and Password.

3Select Connect.
