Thanks Alex. This is probably a new feature request, but is this possible to create some kind of VirtualTemplate interface like it is in Cisco access routers. Currently i have to configure bunch of different ng interfaces for every kind user. However on my Cisco 7206VXR i can bundle physical link together with VirtaulTemplate interface in one vpdn-group config like this: vpdn-template dslisp description "dslisp LNS" local name DSLISP l2tp tunnel password 7 xxxxxxxxxxxxx vpdn-group l2tp-301 accept-dialin protocol l2tp virtual-template 1 terminate-from hostname nexxia1006 lcp renegotiation always source vpdn-template dslisp interface Virtual-Template1 ip unnumbered GigabitEthernet0/1 ip mtu 1460 ip tcp header-compression ip tcp adjust-mss 1460 load-interval 60 no peer default ip address keepalive 30 ppp mru match ppp encrypt mppe auto passive stateful ppp authentication pap chap dslisprealm ppp authorization dslisprealm ppp accounting dslisprealm And all the ppp interfaces for all users will use this configuration as a template. -- ====================================================================== - Best regards, Nikolay Pavlov. <<<----------------------------------- ======================================================================
