L2TP over IPsec

This is an example of L2TP over IPsec.

This example uses a locally defined user for authentication, a Windows PC or Android tablet as the client, and net‑device is set to enable in the phase1‑interface settings. If net-device is set to disable, only one device can establish an L2TP over IPsec tunnel behind the same NAT device.

To configure L2TP over an IPsec tunnel using the GUI:

1. Go to VPN > IPsec Wizard.

   

2. Enter a VPN Name. In this example, L2tpoIPsec.
3. Configure the following settings for VPN Setup:
   1. For Template Type, select Remote Access.
   2. For Remote Device Type, select Native and Windows Native.
   3. Click Next.
4. Configure the following settings for Authentication:
   1. For Incoming Interface, select port9.
   2. For Authentication Method, select Pre-shared Key.
   3. In the Pre-shared Key field, enter your-psk as the key.
   4. For User Group, select L2tpusergroup
   5. Click Next.
5. Configure the following settings for Policy & Routing:
   1. From the Local Interface dropdown menu, select port10.
   2. Configure the Local Address as 172.16.101.0.
   3. Configure the Client Address Range as 10.10.10.1-10.10.10.100.
   4. Leave the Subnet Mask at its default value.
   5. Click Create.

To configure L2TP over an IPsec tunnel using the CLI:

1. Configure the WAN interface and static route on HQ.

   config system interface
       edit "port9"
           set alias "WAN"
           set ip 22.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
       next
       edit "port10"
           set alias "Internal"
           set ip 172.16.101.1 255.255.255.0
       next
   end   
   config router static
       edit 1
           set gateway 22.1.1.2
           set device "port9"
       next  
   end   

2. Configure IPsec phase1-interface and phase2-interface on HQ.

   config vpn ipsec phase1-interface
       edit "L2tpoIPsec"
           set type dynamic
           set interface "port9"
           set peertype any
           set proposal aes256-md5 3des-sha1 aes192-sha1
           set dpd on-idle
           set dhgrp 2
           set net-device enable
           set psksecret sample
           set dpd-retryinterval 60
       next
   end
   config vpn ipsec phase2-interface
       edit "L2tpoIPsec"
           set phase1name "L2tpoIPsec"
           set proposal aes256-md5 3des-sha1 aes192-sha1
           set pfs disable
           set encapsulation transport-mode
           set l2tp enable
       next
   end

3. Configure a user and user group on HQ.

   config user local
       edit "usera"
           set type password
           set passwd usera
           next
   end
   config user group
       edit "L2tpusergroup"
           set member "usera"
       next
   end

4. Configure L2TP on HQ.

   config vpn l2tp
       set status enable
       set eip 10.10.10.100
       set sip 10.10.10.1
       set usrgrp "L2tpusergroup"
   end

5. Configure a firewall address that is applied in L2TP settings to assign IP addresses to clients once the L2TP tunnel is established.

   config firewall address
       edit "L2TPclients"
           set type iprange
           set start-ip 10.10.10.1
           set end-ip 10.10.10.100
       next
   end

6. Configure a firewall policy.

   config firewall policy
       edit 1
           set name "Bridge_IPsec_port9_for_l2tp negotiation"
           set srcintf "L2tpoIPsec"
           set dstintf "port9"
           set srcaddr "all"
           set dstaddr "all"
           set action accept
           set schedule "always"
           set service "L2TP"
       next
       edit 2
           set srcintf "L2tpoIPsec"
           set dstintf "port10"
           set srcaddr "L2TPclients"
           set dstaddr "172.16.101.0"
           set action accept
           set schedule "always"
           set service "ALL"
           set nat enable
       next
   end
