Hi, I am currently trying to do the same thing (MK as l2tp server and cisco router as l2tp client).
So far I managed to try this successfully only between two cisco routers (by following cisco docs on l2tp). I also have one functional L2Tp setup between two microtics which is working and one of these will be server for the cisco machine.
However, I then pointed the cisco setup of l2tp client to l2tp server on mikrotic, ppp did not make it through LCP stage.
My current config is this for microtic (hostname Arachnid):
/ppp profile print;
Flags: * - default
3 name="l2tp_cisco" use-compression=default use-vj-compression=default use-encryption=default only-one=default change-tcp-mss=default
/ppp secret print;
Flags: X - disabled
# NAME SERVICE CALLER-ID PASSWORD PROFILE
3 Cisco any cisco l2tp_cisco
/interface l2tp-server print;
Flags: X - disabled, D - dynamic, R - running
# NAME USER MTU CLIENT-ADDRESS UPTIME ENCODING
1 l2tp-in-cisco Cisco
/interface l2tp-server server print;
enabled: yes
max-mtu: 1460
max-mru: 1460
mrru: disabled
authentication: mschap2
default-profile: l2tp_cisco
On cisco side, I have this (192.168.10.130 is an IP address of mikrotic l2tp server)
l2tp-class l2tpclass1
authentication
!
hostname Cisco
username Arachnid password 0 cisco
!
pseudowire-class pwclass1
encapsulation l2tpv2
!
interface Loopback1
no ip address
!
interface FastEthernet0/0
ip address dhcp
duplex auto
speed auto
!
interface Virtual-PPP1
ip address negotiated
no shutdown
no cdp enable
ppp authentication ms-chap-v2
pseudowire 192.168.10.130 10 pw-class pwclass1
!
This configuration is not working, even the first phase of PPP (LCP) will not negotiate on configuration parameters, in wireshark, i see something like this:
– output ommited—
LCP Configuration Request
LCP Configuration Reject
LCP Configuration Request
LCP Configuration Reject
LCP Configuration Request
LCP Configuration Reject
LCP Configuration Request
LCP Configuration Reject

LCP Termination Request
LCP Termination Ack
– output ommited—
I anyone can help or has a functional L2TP setup with cisco beeing client to mikrotic, I would like to see the configs.
PS: Mikrotik version 4.7.
