NAME

       nsctl - manage running l2tpns instance

SYNOPSIS

       nsctl [-d] [-h host[:port]] [-t timeout] command [arg ...]

DESCRIPTION

       nsctl  sends  commands  to  a running l2tpns process.  It provides both for the loading or
       unloading of plugins and also the management of sessions via functions provided  by  those
       plugins.

OPTIONS

       -d Enable debugging output

       -h  host[:port]  The  host running l2tpns that should receive the message.  By default the
       message is sent to UDP port 1702 on localhost

       -t timeout Timeout in seconds to wait for a response from the server

COMMANDS

       The first argument specifies the command to send to l2tpns.  The following commands are as
       defined:

       load_plugin plugin
              Load the named plugin

       unload_plugin plugin
              Unload the named plugin

       help   Each  loaded  plugin  is queried for what commands it supports and the synopsis for
              each is output

       Any other value of command (and args if any) are sent to l2tpns as-is,  to  be  passed  to
       each  plugin  which  registers a plugin_control function in turn (in which it may be acted
       upon).
