Hi,
We are a small ISP and are taking a L2TP Interconnect to provide DSL based offerings. Will RouterOS support LNS functionality over PPP and PPPOE?
We also want to be able to specify which VRF/Routing Table the session should be bound to to provide MPLS based solutions.
Many thanks in advance
There is definitely LNS functionality (but not LAC).
VRF’s i’m personally not used in this instance - but dynamically it doesnt seem possible, but if you only have a few who require it you could set up custom pppoe server interfaces for them that pushes them into VRF (see: http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/how-to-put-dynamic-interfaces-to-specific-vrf/40852/1), this could be a management nightmare though if you are running multiple LNS and/or have many of these custom VRF links.
Hi Joe,
RouterOS currently supports LNS, including with tunnel encryption. The feature set is quite limited in comparison to say Cisco VPDN+SSS but it will work for most basic scenarios. LAC is currently NOT supported, this would likely need the implementation of something akin to SSS, so would be a major undertaking for Mikrotik.
As for setting the VRF to terminate a connection to with a RADIUS VSA. This is currently NOT supported. Hopefully Mikrotik add this feature at some point.
Thank you for the advise.
How would I route particular sessions via a differnt route table? Would it be based on the PPP details? As I’m only able to provide the upstream with one L2TP endpoint.
Hi,
Did you ever achieve this? I am looking to achieve the same thing.
