Step 2: Configuring an L2TP originator profile on 10.1.1.74

These steps guide you to create a Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) originator profile:

1. In iSeries™ Navigator, expand 10.1.1.74 > Network > Remote Access Services.

2. Right-click Originator Connection Profiles, and select New Profile.

3. Select the following options on the Setup page and click OK:

   • Protocol type: PPP

   • Connection type: L2TP (virtual line)

   • Operating mode: Remote dial

   • Type of line service: Single line

4. On the General tab, complete the following fields:

   • Name: toModem

   • Description: originator connection going to partition owning modem

5. On the Connection tab, complete the following fields:

   Virtual line name: toModem. This line has no associated physical interface. The virtual line describes various characteristics of this PPP profile. The L2TP Line Properties window opens.

6. On the General tab, enter a description for the virtual line.

7. On the Authentication tab, enter the local host name of the partition and click OK to return to the Connection page.

8. In the Remote telephone numbers field, add *PRIMARY and *BACKUP. This allows the profile to use the same telephone numbers as the terminator profile on the partition owning the modems.

9. In the Remote tunnel endpoint host name or IP address field, enter the remote tunnel endpoint IP address (10.1.1.73).

10. On the Authentication tab, select Allow the remote system to verify the identity of this iSeries server.

11. Under Authentication protocol to use, select Require encrypted password (CHAP-MD5). By default, Allow extensible authentication protocol is also selected.

    The protocol should match whatever protocol the system to which you are dialing uses.

12. Enter your user name and password.

    The user name and password need to match whatever the valid user name and password are on the system to which you are dialing.

13. Go to the TCP/IP Settings tab and verify the required fields:

    • Local IP address: Assigned by remote system

    • Remote IP address: Assigned by remote system

    • Routing: No additional routing is required

14. Click OK to save the PPP profile.
