NAME

       startup-config - configuration file for l2tpns

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/l2tpns/startup-config

DESCRIPTION

       startup-config is the configuration file for l2tpns.

       The  format  is  plain  text,  in the same format as accepted by the configuration mode of
       l2tpns's telnet administrative interface.  Comments are indicated by either the  character
       # or !.

   SETTINGS
       Settings are specified with

              set variable value

       The following variables may be set:

              debug  Set  the  level  of  debugging  messages written to the log file.  The value
                     should be between 0 and 5, with 0  being  no  debugging,  and  5  being  the
                     highest.

              log_file
                     This  will  be  where  all  logging and debugging information is written to.
                     This may be either a  filename,  such  as  /var/log/l2tpns,  or  the  string
                     syslog:facility, where facility is any one of the syslog logging facilities,
                     such as local5.

              pid_file
                     If set, the process id will be written to the  specified  file.   The  value
                     must be an absolute path.

              random_device
                     Path to random data source (default /dev/urandom).  Use "" to use the rand()
                     library function.

              l2tp_secret
                     The secret used by l2tpns for authenticating tunnel request.   Must  be  the
                     same  as the LAC, or authentication will fail.  Only actually be used if the
                     LAC requests authentication.

              l2tp_mtu
                     MTU of interface for L2TP traffic (default: 1500).  Used to set link MRU and
                     adjust TCP MSS.

              ppp_restart_time
                     Restart timer for PPP protocol negotiation in seconds (default: 3).

              ppp_max_configure
                     Number of configure requests to send before giving up (default: 10).

              ppp_max_failure
                     Number  of  Configure-Nak requests to send before sending a Configure-Reject
                     (default: 5).

              primary_dns, secondary_dns
                     Whenever a PPP connection is established, DNS servers will be  sent  to  the
                     user,  both  a  primary  and a secondary.  If either is set to 0.0.0.0, then
                     that one will not be sent.

              primary_radius, secondary_radius
                     Sets the RADIUS servers used for both authentication and accounting.  If the
                     primary  server  does  not respond, then the secondary RADIUS server will be
                     tried.

              primary_radius_port, secondary_radius_port
                     Sets the authentication ports for the primary and secondary RADIUS  servers.
                     The  accounting  port is one more than the authentication port.  If no ports
                     are given, authentication defaults to 1645, and accounting to 1646.

              radius_accounting
                     If set to true, then RADIUS accounting packets will be sent.  A Start record
                     will  be  sent  when  the  session is successfully authenticated, and a Stop
                     record when the session is closed.

              radius_interim
                     If radius_accounting is on, defines the interval between sending  of  RADIUS
                     interim accounting records (in seconds).

              radius_secret
                     Secret to be used in RADIUS packets.

              radius_authtypes
                     A  comma separated list of supported RADIUS authentication methods ("pap" or
                     "chap"), in order of preference (default "pap").

              radius_dae_port
                     Port for DAE RADIUS (Packet of Death/Disconnect,  Change  of  Authorization)
                     requests (default: 3799).

              radius_bind_min, radius_bind_max
                     Define a port range in which to bind sockets used to send and receive RADIUS
                     packets.  Must be at least RADIUS_FDS (64) wide.  Simplifies firewalling  of
                     RADIUS ports (default: dynamically assigned).

              allow_duplicate_users
                     Allow  multiple  logins with the same username.  If false (the default), any
                     prior session with the same username will be dropped when a new  session  is
                     established.

              guest_account
                     Allow multiple logins matching this specific username.

              bind_address
                     When  the  tun  interface  is  created, it is assigned the address specified
                     here.  If no address is given, 1.1.1.1 is  used.   Packets  containing  user
                     traffic  should  be  routed via this address if given, otherwise the primary
                     address of the machine.

              peer_address
                     Address to send to clients as the default gateway.

              send_garp
                     Determines whether or not to send a gratuitous ARP for the bind_address when
                     the  server  is  ready  to  handle traffic (default: true).  This setting is
                     ignored if BGP is configured.

              throttle_speed
                     Sets the default speed (in kbits/s) which sessions will be limited to.

              throttle_buckets
                     Number of token buckets to allocate for throttling.  Each throttled  session
                     requires two buckets (in and out).

              accounting_dir
                     If  set  to  a  directory,  then every 5 minutes the current usage for every
                     connected use will be dumped to a file in this directory.

              dump_speed
                     If set to true, then the current bandwidth utilization will be logged  every
                     second.   Even  if this is disabled, you can see this information by running
                     the uptime command on the CLI.

              multi_read_count
                     Number of packets to read off each of the UDP and TUN fds when  returned  as
                     readable  by  select (default: 10).  Avoids incurring the unnecessary system
                     call overhead of select on busy servers.

              scheduler_fifo
                     Sets the scheduling policy for  the  l2tpns  process  to  SCHED_FIFO.   This
                     causes  the  kernel to immediately preempt any currently running SCHED_OTHER
                     (normal) process in favour of l2tpns when it becomes runnable.
                     Ignored on uniprocessor systems.

              lock_pages
                     Keep all pages mapped by the l2tpns process in memory.

              icmp_rate
                     Maximum number of host unreachable ICMP packets to send per second.

              packet_limit
                     Maximum number of packets of downstream traffic to be handled each tenth  of
                     a  second per session.  If zero, no limit is applied (default: 0).  Intended
                     as a DoS prevention mechanism and not a general throttling control  (packets
                     are dropped, not queued).

              cluster_address
                     Multicast cluster address (default: 239.192.13.13).

              cluster_interface
                     Interface for cluster packets (default: eth0).

              cluster_mcast_ttl
                     TTL for multicast packets (default: 1).

              cluster_hb_interval
                     Interval in tenths of a second between cluster heartbeat/pings.

              cluster_hb_timeout
                     Cluster  heartbeat  timeout  in  tenths  of  a second.  A new master will be
                     elected when this interval has been passed without seeing a  heartbeat  from
                     the master.

              cluster_master_min_adv
                     Determines  the  minumum  number  of  up  to date slaves required before the
                     master will drop routes (default: 1).

              ipv6_prefix
                     Enable negotiation of IPv6.  This forms the the first 64 bits of the  client
                     allocated  address.   The  remaining 64 come from the allocated IPv4 address
                     and 4 bytes of 0s.

   BGP ROUTING
       The routing configuration section is entered by the command

              router bgp as

       where as specifies the local AS number.

       Subsequent lines prefixed with neighbour peer define the attributes  of  BGP  neighhbours.
       Valid commands are:

              neighbour peer remote-as as
              neighbour peer timers keepalive hold

       Where  peer  specifies  the  BGP  neighbour  as either a hostname or IP address, as is the
       remote AS number and keepalive, hold are the timer values in seconds.

   NAMED ACCESS LISTS
       Named access lists may be defined with either of

              ip access-list standard name
              ip access-list extended name

       Subsequent lines starting with permit or deny define the body of the access-list.

       Standard Access Lists
           Standard access lists are defined with:

                  {permit|deny} source [dest]

           Where source and dest specify IP matches using one of:

                  address wildard
                  host address
                  any

           address and wildard are in dotted-quad notation, bits in the  wildard  indicate  which
           address bits in address are relevant to the match (0 = exact match; 1 = don't care).

           The  shorthand  'host  address'  is equivalent to 'address 0.0.0.0'; 'any' to '0.0.0.0
           255.255.255.255'.

       Extended Access Lists
           Extended access lists are defined with:

                  {permit|deny} proto source [ports] dest [ports] [flags]

           Where proto is one of ip, tcp or udp, and source and dest are as described  above  for
           standard lists.

           For  TCP and UDP matches, source and destination may be optionally followed by a ports
           specification:

                  {eq|neq|gt|lt} port
                  range from to

           flags may be one of:

                  {match-any|match-all} {+|-}{fin|syn|rst|psh|ack|urg} ...
                         Match packets with any or all of the tcp flags set (+) or clear (-).

                  established
                         Match "established" TCP connections:  packets with RST or ACK  set,  and
                         SYN clear.

                  fragments
                         Match IP fragments.  May not be specified on rules with layer 4 matches.
