I am using l2tpd to terminate l2 tunnels for ADSL in australia. some of our clients have static ip addresses, the rest use the default lns ip-range
here is my config: [global] ; Global parameters: port = 1701 ; * Bind to port 1701 auth file = /etc/l2tpd/l2tp-secrets ; * Where our challenge secrets are rand source = dev ; Source for entropy for random [lns default] ; Our fallthrough LNS definition exclusive = no ; * Only permit one tunnel per host ip range = 210.8.120.129-210.8.120.169 ; * Allocate from this IP range local ip = 210.8.120.210 ; * Our local IP to use ppp debug = yes ; * Turn on PPP debugging [lac bur-cor5] lns = bur-cor5.connect.com.au require authentication = yes name = terminator.getonit.com [lac can-cor3] lns = can-cor3.connect.com.au require authentication = yes name = terminator.getonit.com [lac hay-cor7] lns = hay-cor7.connect.com.au require authentication = yes name = terminator.getonit.com [lac for-cor3] lns = for-cor3.connect.com.au require authentication = yes name = terminator.getonit.com [lac ade-cor4] lns = ade-cor4.connect.com.au require authentication = yes name = terminator.getonit.com [lac per-cor3] lns = per-cor3.connect.com.au require authentication = yes name = terminator.getonit.com my static ip addresses start from 170 up to 191 the problem is this: the l2tpd allocates an ip on connect (out of the dynamic pool) then pppd issues them the static address. thats fair enough. but l2tpd doesnt appear to deallocate the ip once the client finishes. so we end up running out of IP addresses. ive ran through the source and cant see where it frees up the ip? is there a way of having it do it, and even allocate static ip addresses to users?
