L2TP

L2PT, or Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol is a VPN protocol that will ensure a direct connection to the server
using an authentication process that guarantees the data originated from the claimed sender and was not
damaged or altered in transit. Once connected to the VPN tunnel, it seems to the user that the client computer
is directly connected to the internal network. To set up your L2PT connection, enter the following data that
was provided to you by your ISP.

There are two ways to enable the router to become a L2TP client, one is through assigning the router an IP
address dynamically, which means that the DHCP protocol will be implemented by the Router to
automatically configure the IP settings. The user may input the IP settings manually by choosing the Static
IP option above the configuring area. To configure the router to be a L2TP client, complete the following
fields and click the Save Settings button.
