Hi, L2tpv3 does not work well with the embedded switch-ports on the 870/1800 Routers since they tend to collect the stp/dot-q/.. pakets.
With 1812 and the two "real" Fastethernet ports, Stp and also full-ethernetframe including dot-q tags get transmitted. So I used one of the switch-ports in vlan1 for the IP Transport connection. IOS was c181x-adventerprisek9-mz.124-9.T.bin H With this IOS you can use the ip-adress of the LAN interface for the L2tpv3. So you are not bound to have a loopback interface, as seen in later IOses. Probably, the "WAN" "Internet" Port of an 871 may work, but Those devices have an external power-supply. With the 180[123]/1811/1812, you have at least one real FastEthernet Port for the "internet-crossover" Cable; embedded xDSL Modem or second FAS (1811/1812) for the WAN Connection and a crypto-copro for the encryption of that Cable. Hope this help's, Juergen. _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
