Dynamic Tunnel-Service Interfaces

The router dynamically creates and deletes dynamic tunnel-service interfaces as dictated by the operation of the relevant protocols. Currently, L2TP sessions are the only dynamic tunnel-service interfaces available.

When the router creates a dynamic tunnel-service interface, it assigns that interface to a particular module. If that module becomes unavailable, the router removes the interface. If the initiator of the dynamic interface requests its reestablishment, the router recreates the dynamic tunnel service interface and assigns it to an available module.

Going forward, if you reinstall a module that was formerly unavailable or removed, the router deletes unwanted dynamic tunnel-service interfaces and creates new ones for applications on other modules. Gradually, the distribution of dynamic tunnel-service interfaces on the modules becomes even.
