NAME

l2tpns - Layer 2 tunneling protocol network server (LNS)

l2tpns [-d] [-v] [-c file] [-h hostname]

l2tpns is a daemon for terminating layer 2 tunneling protocol (L2TP: RFC 2661) sessions.

Once running, l2tpns may be controlled by telnetting to port 23 on the machine running the daemon and with the nsctl utility.

-d: Detach from terminal and fork into the background. By default l2tpns will stay in the foreground.
-v: Increase verbosity for debugging. Can be used multiple times.
-c file: Specify configuration file.
-h hostname: Force hostname to hostname.

/etc/l2tpns/startup-config: The default configuration file.
/etc/l2tpns/ip_pool: IP address pool configuration.
/etc/l2tpns/users: Username/password configuration for access to admin interface.

SIGHUP: Reload the config from disk and re-open log file.
SIGTERM, SIGINT: Stop process. Tunnels and sessions are not terminated. This signal should be used to stop l2tpns on a cluster node where there are other machines to continue handling traffic.
SIGQUIT: Shut down tunnels and sessions, exit process when complete.
