Step 1: Configure L2TP terminator profile for any interface on the
partition, which owns the modems
Follow these steps to create a terminator profile for any interface:
In iSeries™ Navigator,
expand your server > Network > Remote Access Services.
Right-click Receiver Connection Profiles,
and select New Profile.
Select the following options on the Setup page and click OK:
Protocol type: PPP
Connection type: L2TP (virtual line)
Operating mode: Terminator (network server)
Type of line service: Single line
On the New Profile - General tab, complete
the following fields:
Name: toExternal
Description: Receiver connection to dial out
Select Start profile with TCP.
On the New Profile - Connection tab, complete
the following fields.
Local tunnel endpoint IP address: ANY
Virtual line name: toExternal. This line has no associated
physical interface. The virtual line describes various characteristics of
this PPP profile. The L2TP Line Properties window opens. Click the Authentication tab
and enter your server's host name. Click OK to return
to the Connection tab on the New PPP Profile Properties window.
On the Outgoing Call Dial Properties page, select a line service
type.
Type of line service: Line pool
Name: dialOut
Click New. The New Line Pool Properties dialog
appears.
On the New line pool properties window, select the lines and modems
to which you will allow the outgoing calls and click Add.
If you need to define these lines, select New Line.
The interfaces on the partition which owns these modems will try to use whichever
line is open from this line pool. The new Line Properties window appears.
On the New Line Properties - General tab,
enter information in the following fields:
Name: line1
Description: first line and first modem for line pool (2793
internal modem)
Hardware resource: cmn03 (communication port)
Accept the defaults on all other tabs and click OK to
return to the New Line Pool Properties window.
On the New Line Pool Properties window, select the lines and modems
to which you will allow the outgoing calls and click Add.
Verify the 2793 modem is a selected for the pool.
Select New Line again to add the 7852–400
ECS modem. The new Line Properties window appears.
On the New Line Properties - General tab,
enter information in the following fields:
Name: line2
Description: second line and second modem for line pool (7852-400
external ECS modem)
Hardware resource: cmn04 (V.24 port)
Framing: Asynchronous
On the New Line Properties - Modem tab,
select the external modem (7852–400) and click OK to
return to the New Line Pool Properties window.
Select any other available lines you want to add to the line pool
and click Add. In this example, verify the two new
modems you added above are listed under the Selected lines for pool field
and click OK to return to the Outgoing Call Dial Properties
window.
On the Outgoing Call Dial Properties window, enter the Default
Dial Numbers and click OK to return to
the New PPP Profile Properties window.
Note: These numbers might
be something like your ISP which is going to be frequently called by the other
systems using these modems. If the other systems specify a telephone number
of *PRIMARY or *BACKUP, the actual numbers dialed will be the ones specified
here. If the other systems specify an actual telephone number then the telephone
number will be used instead.
On the TCP/IP Settings tab, select the following
values:
Local IP address: None
Remote IP address: None
Note: If you are also using the profile to terminate L2TP sessions,
you will need to pick the local IP address which represents the iSeries server.
For Remote IP address, you can select an address pool that is in the same
subnet as your server. All L2TP sessions would get their IP addresses from
this pool. For other considerations, see Multiple
Connection Profile Support.
On the Authentication tab, accept all default
values.
You are now finished configuring a L2TP terminator profile on
the partition with the modems. The next step is to configure a L2TP remote
dial — originator profile for 10.1.1.74.
Multiple Connection Profile Support
Point-to-point connection profiles that support multiple connections allow you to have one connection profile that handles many digital, analog, or L2TP calls.
