Overview ¶
The kl2tpd command is a daemon for creating dynamic L2TPv2 tunnels and sessions.
Package l2tp is used for the L2TPv2 control protocol and Linux kernel dataplane operations. For established sessions, kl2tpd spawns pppd(8) instances to run the PPP protocol and bring up a network interface.
kl2tpd is driven by a configuration file which describes the tunnel and session instances to create. For more information on the configuration file format please refer to package config's documentation.
In addition to the configuration options offered by package config, kl2tpd extends the session configuration table to allow for the configuration of pppd:
[tunnel.t1.session.s1] pppd_args = "/etc/pppd_args.txt"
The pppd_args parameter specifies a file to read for pppd arguments. These should either be whitespace or newline delimited, and should call out pppd command line arguments as described in the pppd manpage. kl2tpd augments the arguments from the command file with arguments specific to the establishment of the PPPoL2TP session using the pppd pppol2tp plugin.
