+LNS (L2TP Network Server)
+=========================
+
+LNS are often used to connect to a LAC (L2TP Access Concentrator).
+
+Below is an example to configure a LNS:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set vpn l2tp remote-access outside-address 192.0.2.2
+ set vpn l2tp remote-access outside-nexthop 192.168.255.1
+ set vpn l2tp remote-access client-ip-pool start 192.168.255.2
+ set vpn l2tp remote-access client-ip-pool stop 192.168.255.254
+ set vpn l2tp remote-access lns shared-secret 'secret'
+ set vpn l2tp remote-access ccp-disable
+ set vpn l2tp remote-access authentication mode local
+ set vpn l2tp remote-access authentication local-users username test password 'test'
+
+The example above uses 192.0.2.2 as external IP address, the nexthop is supposed
+to be 192.168.255.1 and is used as client termination point. A LAC normally
+requires an authentication password, which is set in the example configuration
+to ``lns shared-secret 'secret'``. This setup requires the Compression Control
+Protocol (CCP) being disabled, the command ``set vpn l2tp remote-access ccp-disable``
+accomplishes that.
-RADIUS authentication
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-The above configuration made use of local accounts on the VyOS router for
-authenticating L2TP/IPSec clients. In bigger environments usually something
-like RADIUS_ (FreeRADIUS_ or Microsoft `Network Policy Server`_, NPS) is used.
+Bandwidth Shaping
+=================
-VyOS supports either `local` or `radius` user authentication:
+Bandwidth rate limits can be set for local users or via RADIUS based attributes.
+
+Bandwidth Shaping for local users
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The rate-limit is set in kbit/sec.
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set vpn l2tp remote-access outside-address 192.0.2.2
+ set vpn l2tp remote-access outside-nexthop 192.168.255.1

+
+RADIUS authentication
+======================
+
+To enable RADIUS based authentication, the authentication mode needs to be
+changed withing the configuration. Previous settings like the local users, still
+exists within the configuration, however they are not used if the mode has been
+changed from local to radius. Once changed back to local, it will use all local
+accounts again.
.. code-block:: sh
set vpn l2tp remote-access authentication mode <local|radius>
-In addition one or more RADIUS_ servers can be configured to server for user
-authentication. This is done using the `radius server` and `radius server key`
-nodes:
+Since the RADIUS server would be a single point of failure, multiple RADIUS
+servers can be setup and will be used subsequentially.
.. code-block:: sh
- set vpn l2tp remote-access authentication radius server 1.1.1.1 key 'foo'
- set vpn l2tp remote-access authentication radius server 2.2.2.2 key 'foo'
+ set vpn l2tp remote-access authentication radius server 10.0.0.1 key 'foo'
+ set vpn l2tp remote-access authentication radius server 10.0.0.2 key 'foo'
-.. note:: Some RADIUS_ severs make use of an access control list who is allowed
- to query the server. Please configure your VyOS router in the allowed client
- list.
+.. note:: Some RADIUS_ severs use an access control list which allows or denies
+ queries, make sure to add your VyOS router to the allowed client list.
RADIUS source address
-*********************
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-If you are using e.g. OSPF as IGP always the nearest interface facing the RADIUS
+If you are using OSPF as IGP always the closets interface connected to the RADIUS
server is used. With VyOS 1.2 you can bind all outgoing RADIUS requests to a
single source IP e.g. the loopback interface.
.. code-block:: sh
- set vpn l2tp remote-access authentication radius source-address 3.3.3.3
+ set vpn l2tp remote-access authentication radius source-address 10.0.0.3
-Above command will use `3.3.3.3` as source IPv4 address for all RADIUS queries
+Above command will use `10.0.0.3` as source IPv4 address for all RADIUS queries
on this NAS.
+.. note:: The ``source-address`` must be configured on one of VyOS interface.
+ Best proctice would be a loopback or dummy interface.
+
+RADIUS bandwidth shaping attribute
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+To enable bandwidth shaping via RADIUS, the option rate-limit needs to be enabled.
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set vpn l2tp remote-access authentication radius rate-limit enable
+
+The default RADIUS attribute for rate limiting is ``Filter-Id``, but you may also
+redefine it.
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set vpn l2tp remote-access authentication radius rate-limit attribute Download-Speed
+
+.. note:: If you set a custom RADIUS attribute you must define it on both
+ dictionaries at RADIUS server and client, which is the vyos router in our
+ example.
+
+The RADIUS dictionaries in VyOS are located at ``/usr/share/accel-ppp/radius/``
+
+RADIUS advanced features
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Received RADIUS attributes have a higher priority than parameters defined within
+the CLI configuration, refer to the explanation below.
+
+Allocation clients ip addresses by RADIUS
+*****************************************
+
+If the RADIUS server sends the attribute ``Framed-IP-Address`` then this IP
+address will be allocated to the client and the option ip-pool within the CLI
+config is being ignored.
+
+Renaming clients interfaces by RADIUS
+*************************************
+
+If the RADIUS server uses the attribute ``NAS-Port-Id``, ppp tunnels will be
+renamed.
+
+.. note:: The value of the attribute ``NAS-Port-Id`` must be less than 16
+ characters, otherwise the interface won't be renamed.
