Mobile Virtual Private Networking (Mobile VPN) with L2TP (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol) creates a secure connection between a remote computer and the network resources behind the Firebox. By default, Mobile VPN with L2TP uses IPSec to provide strong encryption and authentication.
Mobile VPN with L2TP supports connections from most L2TPv2 VPN clients that comply with the L2TP RFC 2661 standard.
Multiple users can connect to Mobile VPN with L2TP from the same external IP address. Make sure the virtual IP address pool has enough addresses for all expected concurrent users. Configuration issues can prevent additional users from receiving valid virtual IP addresses.
Mobile VPN with L2TP supports local authentication on the Firebox (Firebox-DB) and RADIUS authentication servers. For more information, go to About Mobile VPN with L2TP User Authentication.
