Thread: L2TP server support?




L2TP server support?

Hi,

I've been looking at the L2TP server support in FreeBSD.

So far, I've found the following:

    sl2tps

    mpd + some patch - L2TP patch documented in German

    l2tpd - marked as broken

Given that the mpd patch was not in ports, and was only
documented in 
German, and that l2tpd was marked broken, I though I would
try sl2tps.

However, when trying to connect from l2tpd on Linux, the
FreeBSD box 
logs the following and rejects the attempt: "processing
failed on 
mandatory AVP"

After a few attempts, the sl2tps process stops responding to
any L2TP 
packets.  Even killing the process and starting it again
doesn't help - 
I have to completely reboot the FreeBSD box, which suggests
there is a 
fault in the kernel code.

Can someone please advise the preferred way of running a
stable L2TP 
server on FreeBSD?  Which version of FreeBSD and which
daemon?   We are 
aiming to terminate 100+ concurrent tunnels from a variety
of client 
devices.

Regards,

Daniel

Hi,

We have been using sl2tps in FreeBSD. Except for a few
unknown crashes
during OS boot its working fine. Only few users are using
the L2TP and
we have moved to OpenVPN.

We are using FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE and sl2tps-0.4.
