I noticed that (at least) as of 12.3(16) IOS supports PPTP client operation. Is this documented anywhere? It seems to work, but it shares with other ppp-based modules the Cisco quirk or broadcasting a gratuitous ARP reply with the router's Ethernet address and the peer's IP address on bringing up the interface. This is disastrous if you are testing against a PPTP server on the same broadcast net. :( Anybody know how to shut it off?
I also noticed that it now seems to be possible to configure real client mode L2TP. That is, you can associate a dialer interface with an l2tp request-dialin vpdn group (where before you could do this only with an l2tp request-dialout group to request remote modem access). Again, is this documeted anywhere? It appears that vpdn support has been generalized which would be very nice... if it is actually supported...
