== Linux / xl2tpd ==▼
See further below for CLI based xl2tpd manual instructions
=Ubuntu / Network Manager =▼
If you'd rather not set this all up with the CLI then you can use Network Manager instead.
First, install the packages for the l2tp client and the network manager controls:
apt install xl2tpd network-manager-l2tp network-manager-l2tp-gnome▼
If the packages are not found, you may need to add some PPA's, eg one or both of these may be required:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nm-l2tp/network-manager-l2tp
sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo apt-get update
Then, using Network Manager, create the L2TP connection:▼
#Add a L2TP connection: (pic below)▼
##Click the Network icon on the task bar▼
##Click Settings▼
##Next to 'VPN', click the + icon▼
#Enter in the settings: (pic below)▼
##Name: anything, eg AAISP▼
##Type: Password▼
##User name: your login we gave you, eg xxx@a.1▼
##Password: the password we gave you▼
##Click Apply▼
#Connect/disconnect via the network icon on the taskbar (pic below)▼

<li>Install xl2tpd and pppd on your Linux router.</li>
<li>Edit <code>/etc/xl2tpd/xl2tpd.conf</code> to contain the following (adjust to suit):<br />
<code>[lac aaisp]<br />
lns = l2tp.aaisp.net.uk<br />
require authentication = no<br />
pppoptfile = /etc/ppp/options.aaisp<br /
#redial = yes<br />
#redial timeout = 15<br />
#max redials = 9999<br />
#autodial = yes</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 />
<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.▼

*You will then need to figure out what you want to route up the tunnel.

If you see "No such tunnel", you might want to try restarting the daemon▼
