L2TP is not functional in the way users will expect

Description
L2TP appears to be missing the IPsec part, mpd binds on UDP 1701, but it has nothing for the ISAKMP, nothing is bound on UDP 500. Clients just fail after attempting to send the ISAKMP phase 1 ident which gets no response.

This is relevant to what is needed to be done.

- Subject changed from L2TP is not functional to L2TP is not functional in the way users will expect
clarifying ticket, it does actually work, but not the way most people are going to expect.

Probably this should be closed and a feature request should be opened for a wizard.

to be consistent with how users expect it to work, and how it works in similar projects, it needs to just automatically add the appropriate IPsec bits. I don't see any need for a wizard.

Hello,
This is functionality that I could really use, and would be happy to assist in any way that I can. However, I am unclear from the bug to date what needs to happen next - is the next step evaluating the relevant settings, building a framework, or what?
If one of the core developers can point me in a direction, I am happy to slug through this.
Thanks,
--tkr

L2TP is likely just going to be plain L2TP for 2.0 and we can work out the IPsec bits later. The underlying software doesn't work properly with L2TP+IPsec and it's going to require some heavy lifting development work to fix that. Details in the link Ermal provided in the fist comment above.

- Target version changed from 2.0 to 2.1
This cannot be achived in 2.0 timeframe.

Are there any updates on this regarding the 2.1 release? I'm running the 2.1 beta (build: Fri Nov 16 04:26:21 EST 2012) and there is indeed no IKE daemon running after enabling L2TP.
(Also, is there a recommended approach to do this manuelly without 'disturbing' the web-based mpd configuration?)

There is still no way to do this with or without the GUI. It still requires patches to the software (ipsec-tools/racoon) that we have not yet made.

Why do not stop using racoon ? Why not start using libreswan base on netkey or klips. Libreswan match match more sutiable solution for ipsec then racoon. I am talking from my experience.

- Status changed from New to Closed
This is possible on 2.2.
So this can be considered closed.
