Using Layer 2 Tunnels

April 2, 2012

Confidential

Page 174 of 255

Document Number BDTM02201-A01 Standard

• The DNS IP address(es) are determined by the

set tunnel-pmip advanced

dns

command.

Use the

set tunnel-pmip advanced dns1

command to define the DNS server IP

addresses to be provided to the client by the AP through DHCP in case the AP
can not obtain corresponding settings from the HA. The optional

dns2

parameter specifies the backup DNS server in case the primary one is
unreachable.

Mapping User Traffic

/protocol/te-<eng>/map vlan {untagged|<VLAN ID>} to <index>
[domain <string>]
/protocol/te-<eng>/unmap vlan {all|untagged|<VLAN ID>}

The

map vlan

command instructs the tunnel engine to forward traffic to the

specified tunnel. You can specify either traffic associated with a specific VLAN
or traffic that is not tagged for any VLAN. All packets that meet this criteria
received by any of the node’s radios are forwarded through the tunnel. If the
tunnel is not configured or not active, all corresponding packets are dropped.

If you specify untagged traffic, then the tunnel interface itself must be associated
with a VLAN. Refer to

“Setting Tunnel Engine Parameters” on page 167

.

The optional

domain

parameter is for PMIP tunnels. Some PMIP

implementations require an additional identification string to communicate with
the PMIP Home Agent (HA). The

domain

parameter allows you to specify the

required string.

The

unmap vlan

command removes all tunnel mapping entries or a specified

tunnel mapping entry. After this command, the specified packets are then
forwarded as if the tunnel does not exist.

Configuring

Authentication

/protocol/te-<eng>/set tunnel <index (1-5)>
    [secret <shared_secret>]
    [ppp-name <id>] [ppp-password <pw>]
    [backup-secret <backup_shared_secret>]
    [backup-ppp-name <backup_id>] [backup-ppp-password <backup_pw>]
/protocol/te-<eng>/set tunnel <index (1-5)>
                authentication {enabled|disabled}

The

set secret

command configures the parameters for L2TP authentication for

a specified tunnel. The

secret

parameter sets the shared secret for tunnel

authentication. The

ppp-name

and

ppp-password

parameters set the data for

session authentication. The settings for each of these three parameters must
match the equivalent settings on the main router.

The

backup-secret

,

backup-ppp-name

and

backup-ppp-password

parameters

are equivalent settings for a backup router.
