L2TP

L2TP (L2TPv2/PPPoX) is configured on the Access Groups tab for PPPoE scenarios. Peresvet ST emulates an LNS and the related tunnel parameters when testing a BRAS/LNS and PPP tunneling.

Typical sequence: create an access group of type PPPoE, add the PPP/authentication parameters, and then define an L2TP/LNS instance. Access sessions are established before Data Plane user traffic starts.
