Prod me (<code>daveio</code>) on IRC if you have trouble, I'll try to assist if I'm around.
== Linux / xl2tpd ==
<ol>
<li>Ensure the following kernel options are set or the corresponding modules are available:</li>
<ol>
<li><code>CONFIG_PPPOL2TP</code>
<li><code>CONFIG_L2TP</code>
</ol>
<li>Install xl2tpd and pppd on your Linux router.</li>
<li>Edit <code>/etc/xl2tpd/xl2tpd.conf</code> to contain the following:<br />
<code>[lac aaisp]<br />
lns = l2tp.aaisp.net.uk<br />
require authentication = no<br />
pppoptfile = /etc/ppp/options.aaisp</code></li>
<li>Create <code>/etc/ppp/options.aaisp</code> containing the following (obviously change the name and password to match your L2TP login details):<br />
<code>+ipv6<br />
ipv6cp-use-ipaddr<br />
name xyz@a.X<br />
password Your_xyz@A.X_password<br />
noauth</code></li>
<li>Create the xl2tpd control file:<br />
<code>mkdir -p /var/run/xl2tpd<br />
touch /var/run/xl2tpd/l2tp-control</code></li>
<li>Start the xl2tpd service (for systemd, use service command for older RC systems):<br />
<code>systemctl start xl2tpd</code></li>
<li>Tell the daemon to connect to aaisp:<br />
<code>echo "c aaisp" > /var/run/xl2tpd/l2tp-control</code></li>
</ol>
This should give you a new PPP device which encapsulates the L2TP connection.
