l2pt

Nov 04, 2005 1 Replies

just shortly: if properly implemented [remote client on isdn, central office on dsl/cisco1721] is l2pt *secure*? is there some drawbacks, may such a tunnel stream be interrupted [by some kind of hack], or somebody breaking into channel, thus entering into office lan [and make harm]?



do i need some other additional safety measures when using l2pt, or is cisco's built in security enough?



thanks

l2tp is layered on top of IPSec, so if you have security between your hosts and your security gateway, the security of l2tp is no less than the security of IPSec itself.
