L2TP tunnel authentication support

RouterOS General

Hi!

Any plans on implementing L2TP tunnel authentication support ?
This is the only feature which stops us to move our user base from Cisco 7200 to MikroTik thus implementing one-vendor architecture in the network.

For my own curiosity, please could you explain what this does that the Mikrotik can’t do?

Thanks

MikroTik can’t do shared secret between LAC and LNS cisco equiv :

vpdn-group 1
! Default L2TP VPDN group
accept-dialin
protocol l2tp
virtual-template 1
source-ip 11.11.11.11
local name fuse-rtr1
lcp renegotiation always
l2tp hidden
l2tp tunnel password 7 XXXYYYXXXYYXYXYY <<<< This bit

There is a user claimed that it has been implemented recently on the forum.

We were trying to get more information but no reply yet.

@ timoid
Thanks for the log.
Are you using usermanager to authenticate users?
I am assuming you will have hundreds of ppp session on the same one L2TP tunnel, Correct?
Thanks,
