Hi,
I can’t be more gratefull for this article.
I was really in trouble implementing an L2TP solution, and dispite most of Cisco official documentation about L2TP, your tutorial really helped me a lot!

I am trying to accomplish a similar feet but only with L2TP and not the PPTP stuff so what isn’t required for L2TP. Any advice? I’ve been working on it here: http://www.experts-exchange.com/Hardware/Networking_Hardware/Routers/Q_23070836.html

I would prefer not to use a radius server if at all possible and would like to allow the remote VPN clients the ability to communicate with the internal networks.

Thanks

Try using “aaa authentication ppp default local” instead of “aaa authentication ppp default group radius local”. You don’t have a RADIUS server, right? try going to
http://www.parkansky.com/tutorials/pptp.htm
It has a config with explanation lines marked with a “!”. I was able to set up a VPN server on my 831 in 15 minutes or less on the first try. Remember to use the “?” when entering the commands so you’ll know what they mean. I was able to play with the authentication method PAP instead of MS-CHAP.

Hi,

Thanks for this configuration, I have followed this config but can still not get this to work?

I am not using a RADIUS server or AD, all users are local to the router.

I have configured the IPSec key in the Windows VPN client aswell, is there anything I am missing?

Thanks for you help.
