Configuring L2TP Services

Parameter: Retransmit Timer (seconds)

Path: Configuration Manager > Protocols > IP > L2TP > L2TP Configuration

Default: 1

Options: 1 to 60 seconds

Function: Indicates the number of seconds that the LNS waits for an acknowledgment from the LAC before resending packets.

Instructions: If you are experiencing many timeouts during L2TP tunnel negotiation or during a session, set this value to a number greater than the default. Otherwise, accept the default.

MIB Object ID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.5.23.2.1.7

Parameter: Maximum Retransmit

Path: Configuration Manager > Protocols > IP > L2TP > L2TP Configuration

Default: 1

Options: 1 to 60

Function: Specifies the maximum number of times the LNS retransmits packets to the LAC.

Instructions: If you are experiencing many timeouts during L2TP tunnel negotiation or during a session, set this value to a number greater than the default. Otherwise, accept the default.

MIB Object ID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.5.23.2.1.8

Parameter: Hello Timer (seconds)

Path: Configuration Manager > Protocols > IP > L2TP > L2TP Configuration

Default: 60

Options: 1 to 60 seconds

Function: Indicates the maximum number of seconds that can elapse without data activity before the LNS sends a packet through the tunnel to the LAC to check the connection.

Instructions: Set this parameter to a smaller number only if the connection is not stable. Otherwise, accept the default.

MIB Object ID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.5.23.2.1.9
