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 plug‐
       ins 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).
