NAME¶
l2tpns - Layer 2 tunneling protocol network server (LNS)
SYNOPSIS¶
l2tpns [
-d] [
-v] [
-c file] [
-h
hostname]
DESCRIPTION¶
l2tpns is a daemon for terminating layer 2 tunneling protocol (L2TP: RFC
2661) sessions.
Once running,
l2tpns may be controlled by telnetting to port 23 on the
machine running the daemon and with the
nsctl utility.
OPTIONS¶
- -d
- Detach from terminal and fork into the background. By default l2tpns will
stay in the foreground.
- -v
- Increase verbosity for debugging. Can be used multiple times.
- -c file
- Specify configuration file.
- -h hostname
- Force hostname to hostname.
FILES¶
- /etc/l2tpns/startup-config
- The default configuration file.
- /etc/l2tpns/ip_pool
- IP address pool configuration.
- /etc/l2tpns/users
- Username/password configuration for access to admin interface.
SIGNALS¶
- SIGHUP
- Reload the config from disk and re-open log file.
- SIGTERM, SIGINT
- Stop process. Tunnels and sessions are not terminated. This signal should
be used to stop l2tpns on a cluster node where there are other machines to
continue handling traffic.
- SIGQUIT
- Shut down tunnels and sessions, exit process when complete.
