Monitor==>L2TP Tunnels

The Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) allows PPP frames to be tunneled across an IP network from one PortMaster that answers the call to another PortMaster that processes the PPP frames.

You can check the L2TP tunnels that have been created and have either originated or have terminated at this PortMaster. To to check the acitivity of L2TP tunnels in a virtual private network (VPN), click Monitor==>VPN==>L2TP Tunnels.

Select a modem and use the Reset Counters button to restart incrementing values in PMVision only, not on the PortMaster. Use Restore Counters to restore these counters to their real-time values.

To view VPN L2TP Tunnels simultaneously with other options in the PMVision tree, click New Window.
