Chapter 1 VPDN Configuration Command

1.1 VPDN Configuration Commands

VPDN sub-module is a sub-module to deal with VPDN group in L2TP or PPTP module,
its major function is to create and manage VPDN group information, Both NAC (
Network Access Concentrator) and NS ( Network Server) need to get related
information from VPDN,to create channel and session. When VPDN binded with L2TP
protocol, NAC is also called LAC (L2TP Access Concentrator) and NS is called LNS
(L2TP Network Server); When VPDN binded with PPTP protocol, NAC is also called
PAC (PPTP Access Concentrator) and NS is called PNS ( PPTP Network Server).

The command can be executed exclusively on NAC. The command is used to specify
the remote NS by IP address. when such command executed, first judg whether IP
address has been configured. If IP address has been configured, the system will return
to the configuration mode directly, If not so, the IP address will be added to NS group,
which may be in way of domain name of NS( see command Initiate-to host-name).

- 12 -
 VPDN (L2TP,PPTP,PPPoE) Configuration Commands

One NAC can be configured with 5 NS in way of IP address or in way of domain name,
in order to ensure that backup NS can work normally when main NS fails.

Example

The example below creates a VPDN group, sets the VPDN group as NAC and sets IP
address of NS communicable to it on the sequence of priority level from high to low,
which is arranged as follows: 192.168.20.200，192.168.20.201，192.168.20.202，

 VPDN (L2TP,PPTP,PPPoE) Configuration Commands

Explanation

The command can be executed exclusively on NAC. The command is used to specify
the remote NS by the doman name other than by IP address(See command:initiate-to
ip).When such command executed, first judg whether domain name has been
configured before. If it has been configured, the system will return to the configuration
mode directly, If not so, the IP address will be added to NS group, which may be in
way of domain name of NS( see command Initiate-to ip). One NAC can be configured
with 5 NS in way of IP address or in way of domain name, in order to ensure that
backup NSs can work normally when main NS fails.

Example

The example below creates a VPDN group, sets the VPDN group as NAC and sets the
domain name of NS as test.QTECH.net.
router>enable
router#config router_config#vpdn-
group 1 router_config-
vpdn#request-dialin
router_config-vpdn#initiate-to host-name test.QTECH.net priority 0

If domain "test.QTECH.net" is an new domain, other commands concernd with DNS

have to be configured. Assure that the name server of DNS be 192.168.1.8 and
Primary server be 192.168.1.8, the following configuration is necessary:
router_config#ip domain name-server 192.168.1.8
router_config#ip domain dynamic enable router_config#ip
domain primary-server 192.168.1.8 router_config#ip

no Request-dialin

Parameter

none

Default

none

Command mode

Configuration mode of VPDN group

Explanation

If the former role of the group is NAC, the system will return to the configuration mode
directly. If the original function role of the VPDN group is NS, the role will be cancelled
and the function role of VPDN will be set as NAC.

Example

The example below creates a VPDN group and sets the VPDN group as NAC.

 VPDN (L2TP,PPTP,PPPoE) Configuration Commands

Syntas

Terminate-from remote_lac_name

no Terminate-from remote_lac_name

Parameter

Parameter Description
remote_lac_name The channel name of remote NAC, the maximum length is 254 characters.

Default

none

Command mode

Configuration mode of VPDN group

Explanation

After this command is configured, the VPDN group can be used exclusively for making
the response to NAC specified by the parameter “lac_name” and it cannot be used by
other NAC names. If a VPDN group is not configured with the command “Terminate-
from”, it will serve as the default group and its information will be applied when no
other VPDN groups can be matched. The command can be executed exclusively on
NS.

Example

The example below creates a VPDN group and sets the VPDN group as NS. The
name of the responsive remote tunnel is lac.

1.1.21 port

To connect the VPDN group and the specified interface, run port interface-name.

 VPDN (L2TP,PPTP,PPPoE) Configuration Commands

Parameter

Parameter Description

Interface-name Name of the to-be-connected interface

Default

None

Command mode

VPDN group configuration mode

Explanation

This command is used to specify a port to connect the VPDN group. If it is NAC, the
virtual- tunnel port or the synchronous/asynchronous serial port can be configured. If it
is NS, the virtual-template port can be configured. The created VPDN connection will
use the virtual -access port cloned by the virtual-template port for communications. If
this command is configured in the NAC VPDN group, the domain command is invisible
and the VPDN group functions at the VPDN connection which is triggered by the
specified port.

Example

The following example shows how to establish a VPDN group, set it to NAC and
connect it and the virtual tunnel interface.
router>enable

The command “debug l2tp packets detail” is only a switch. Opening the “debug” along
is not able to print the content of the data packet. If the command “debug l2tp packets
control-packets” is configured simultaneously, the detailed information of the control
packet will be printed. Similarly, if the command “debug l2tp packets data-packets” is

Example

The following example shows how to browse the existing sessions before they are
cleared:
Router#show pppoe session

PPPOE Session Information:

Total sessions 1

ID Local_Address Remote_Address State Role Interface Bind_Ether

3 00:e0:0f:08:02:c2 00:e0:0f:0c:05:31 Established client vn1 e0/0

Session 6 in tunnel 2 has been cleared.

Check the uncleared tunnel and the session and you will find that the session is
cleared and the tunnel still exists.
Router#clear pppoe session ID 3
Router#show pppoe session
No active sessions

1.1.32 debug pppoe

To export error information about the PPPOE module, run debug pppoe.

[no] debug pppoe [error | event | packets [discovery | session | detail]]

You can run no debug pppoe to stop displaying the error information about the
PPPOE module.

Parameter

Parameter Description
Displays abnormities and errors occurred during PPPOE
error
running.

event Displays the information about triggering PPPOE module.

Displays the content of the packets (control packets and data
packets
packets) received or transmitted by PPPOE module.

The subcommands related to packets are shown in the following table:

Parameter Description
Displays the content of the control packets received and
discovery
transmitted by the PPPOE module.

Displays the content of the data packets received and

session
transmitted by the PPPOE module.

Opens or shuts down the content switch of the packets received

detail
by the printing module.

 VPDN (L2TP,PPTP,PPPoE) Configuration Commands

1) Run the following command:

debug pppoe packets

You can achieve the same result if you run the following two commands:

debug pppoe packets discovery

debug pppoe packets session

2) Run the following command:

no debug pppoe packets

You can achieve the same result if you run the following two commands:

no debug pppoe packets discovery

no debug pppoe packets session

debug pppoe packets detail is just a switch. The content of the data packet cannot
be printed if the switch is uniquely openned. If debug pppoe packets discovery is
configured at the same time, the details of the control packet will be printed; if debug
pppoe packets session is configured at the same time, the details of the data packet
will be printed. If the debug is not configured, only the summary information about the
control packet and the data packet will be printed.

Command mode

EXEC

Usage explanation

After pppoe debug is opened, the error information about PPPOE module, event
trigger information and content of the received/transmitted packets can be exported,
which help detecting faults on the PPPOE module.

Example

(1) Example for debugging the control packets:

The configuration command is shown as follows:
Router#debug pppoe packets discovery
