    Configuring the L2TP Client

    To configure the client, include the client statement at the [edit access profile profile-name] hierarchy level:

    [edit access profile profile-name]client client-name;

    client-name is the peer identity.

    For L2TP, you can optionally use the wildcard (*) to define a default tunnel client to authenticate multiple LACs with the same secret and L2TP attributes. If an LAC with a specific name is not defined in the configuration, the wildcard tunnel client authenticates it.

    Note: The * for the default client configuration applies only to M Series routers. On MX Series routers, use default instead. See Configuring an L2TP Access Profile on the LNS for more about MX Series routers.
