On the next screen, configure the new interface to use L2TP:
 
# Set the '''Link Type''' to L2TP
# Set the outgoing '''Link Interface''' (most likely WAN)
# Set the '''Username''' to your AAISP login
# Set the '''Password''' to you AAISP password - as seen on the 'Broadband Circuit Details' page on [[Category:Control Pages|control.aa.net.uk]]
# Set the '''Gateway IP''' to '90.155.53.19' - by using an IP address you can avoid performing a DNS lookup, and having to ensure DNS works before and after the tunnel comes up.
# No Local IP Address is required - it will be chosen automatically

When you are finished, press '''Save''' at the bottom of the screen.

Then go back to the Interfaces ⟶ (assign) main menu. The next step is to assign the interface and configure it.
 
Press the '+ Add' button next to the new L2TP0 interface:

The interface can then be configured to use IPv4 and/or IPv6:
 
# I used the '''description'''/name 'L2TP' for my interface
# Set the the '''IPv4 Configuration Type''' to 'L2TP'
# Set the the '''IPv6 Configuration Type''' to 'SLAAC' - you don't actually need a global IPv6 address on the interface at all - it will just use Link Local addressing, but setting to SLAAC seems to enable IPv6 on the interface without causing any problems
 
When you are finished, press '''Save''' at the bottom of the screen.
