Linux client to L2TP/IPsec in Mikrotik

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

HI!
I have an L2TP/IPsec configured on Mokrtik and can connect to it from Android devices. I also need to connect from a few Linux notebooks where users would preferably use NetworkManager’s plugins for that. I tried to do this and could not connect. VPNC asks for group-id which I do not know where to get from. Can anyone explain, please?

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

I managed to connect to L2TP/IPsec server on MikroTik from Ubuntu 14.04 using this:

Do you have a parameter IPsec ID?

I’m not sure what you are asking because I’m not an IPsec expert but here are the settings that connect me to L2TP on RouterOS
