Network Access Configuration Overview

The Junos OS enables you to configure network access features for the device at the [edit access] hierarchy level. This includes L2TP, PPP, and Subscriber Access configuration.

The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) is an encapsulation protocol for transporting IP traffic across point-to-point links. For M7i, M10i, and M120 routers, you can configure Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) tunneling security services on an Adaptive Services or a MultiServices Physical Interface Card (PIC).

The L2TP protocol allows Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) to be tunneled within a network.
