L2TPv3
######

Layer 2 Tunnelling Protocol Version 3 is an IETF standard related to L2TP that
can be used as an alternative protocol to :ref:`mpls` for encapsulation of
multiprotocol Layer 2 communications traffic over IP networks. Like L2TP,
L2TPv3 provides a pseudo-wire service, but scaled to fit carrier requirements.

L2TPv3 can be regarded as being to MPLS what IP is to ATM: a simplified version
of the same concept, with much of the same benefit achieved at a fraction of the
effort, at the cost of losing some technical features considered less important
in the market.

In the case of L2TPv3, the features lost are teletraffic engineering features
considered important in MPLS. However, there is no reason these features could
not be re-engineered in or on top of L2TPv3 in later products.

The protocol overhead of L2TPv3 is also significantly bigger than MPLS.

L2TPv3 is described in :rfc:`3921`.

Configuration

Common interface configuration
==============================

.. cmdinclude:: /_include/interface-common-without-dhcp.txt
   :var0: l2tpv3
   :var1: l2tpeth0

L2TPv3 options
==============

.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces l2tpv3 <interface> encapsulation <udp | ip>

  Set the encapsulation type of the tunnel. Valid values for encapsulation are:
  udp, ip.

  This defaults to UDP

.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces l2tpv3 <interface> local-ip <address>

  set the IP address of the local interface to be used for the tunnel.

  This address must be the address of a local interface. May be specified as an
  IPv4 address or an IPv6 address.

.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces l2tpv3 <interface> remote-ip <address>

  Set the IP address of the remote peer. May be specified as an IPv4 address or
  an IPv6 address.

.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces l2tpv3 <interface> session-id <id>

  Set the session id, which is a 32-bit integer value. Uniquely identifies the
  session being created. The value used must match the peer_session_id value
  being used at the peer.

.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces l2tpv3 <interface> peer-session-id <id>

  Set the peer session id, which is a 32-bit integer value assigned to the
  session by the peer. The value used must match the session_id value being
  used at the peer.

.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces l2tpv3 <interface> tunnel-id <id>

  Set the tunnel id, which is a 32-bit integer value. Uniquely identifies the
  tunnel into which the session will be created.

.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces l2tpv3 <interface> peer-tunnel-id <id>

  Set the tunnel id, which is a 32-bit integer value. Uniquely identifies the
  tunnel into which the session will be created.

Example
*******

Over IP
=======

.. code-block:: none

  # show interfaces l2tpv3
  l2tpv3 l2tpeth10 {
      address 192.168.37.1/27
      encapsulation ip
      local-ip 192.0.2.1
      peer-session-id 100
      peer-tunnel-id 200
      remote-ip 203.0.113.24
      session-id 100
      tunnel-id 200
  }

Inverse configuration has to be applied to the remote side.

Over UDP
========

UDP mode works better with NAT:

* Set local-ip to your local IP (LAN).
* Add a forwarding rule matching UDP port on your internet router.

.. code-block:: none

  # show interfaces l2tpv3
  l2tpv3 l2tpeth10 {
      address 192.168.37.1/27
      destination-port 9001
      encapsulation udp
      local-ip 192.0.2.1
      peer-session-id 100
      peer-tunnel-id 200
      remote-ip 203.0.113.24
      session-id 100
      source-port 9000
      tunnel-id 200
  }

To create more than one tunnel, use distinct UDP ports.


Over IPSec, L2 VPN (bridge)
===========================

This is the LAN extension use case. The eth0 port of the distant VPN peers
will be directly connected like if there was a switch between them.

IPSec:

.. code-block:: none

  set vpn ipsec ipsec-interfaces <VPN-interface>
  set vpn ipsec esp-group test-ESP-1 compression 'disable'
  set vpn ipsec esp-group test-ESP-1 lifetime '3600'
  set vpn ipsec esp-group test-ESP-1 mode 'transport'
  set vpn ipsec esp-group test-ESP-1 pfs 'enable'
  set vpn ipsec esp-group test-ESP-1 proposal 1 encryption 'aes128'
  set vpn ipsec esp-group test-ESP-1 proposal 1 hash 'sha1'
  set vpn ipsec ike-group test-IKE-1 ikev2-reauth 'no'
  set vpn ipsec ike-group test-IKE-1 key-exchange 'ikev1'
  set vpn ipsec ike-group test-IKE-1 lifetime '3600'
  set vpn ipsec ike-group test-IKE-1 proposal 1 dh-group '5'
  set vpn ipsec ike-group test-IKE-1 proposal 1 encryption 'aes128'
  set vpn ipsec ike-group test-IKE-1 proposal 1 hash 'sha1'
  set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer <peer-ip> authentication mode 'pre-shared-secret'
  set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer <peer-ip> authentication pre-shared-secret <pre-shared-key>
  set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer <peer-ip> connection-type 'initiate'
  set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer <peer-ip> ike-group 'test-IKE-1'
  set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer <peer-ip> ikev2-reauth 'inherit'
  set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer <peer-ip> local-address <local-ip>
  set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer <peer-ip> tunnel 1 allow-nat-networks 'disable'
  set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer <peer-ip> tunnel 1 allow-public-networks 'disable'
  set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer <peer-ip> tunnel 1 esp-group 'test-ESP-1'
  set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer <peer-ip> tunnel 1 protocol 'l2tp'

Bridge:

.. code-block:: none

  set interfaces bridge br0 description 'L2 VPN Bridge'
  # remote side in this example:
  # set interfaces bridge br0 address '172.16.30.18/30'
  set interfaces bridge br0 address '172.16.30.17/30'
  set interfaces bridge br0 member interface eth0
