30.3.3. Layer 2 Tunnelling Configuration
Figure 30.28. L2tunneld menu
The path to the L2tunneld (Layer 2) menu is tunnel/l2tunneld. The L2 Tunnel Daemon form appears
on the same screen as this menu.
Figure 30.29. L2 Tunnel Daemon form
This form configures general settings for the daemon that apply to all supported tunnel configurations.
The UDP-port field configures the port used by the daemon to communicate with other daemons. The
Beacon-interval field configures how often a Round Trip Time (RTT) measurement message is sent
to each remote peer. The interval takes the values “Off” to disable RTT measurement or a time of 10
– 3600 seconds.
All Layer 2 Tunnel daemons in the network must use the same port number. If the router
employs a firewall, ensure that a hole is opened for each of the remote daemons using
this port number.
