L2TP
Choose this option if you want to use Layer 2 Tunneling
Protocol (L2TP) to connect to the Internet.
Use the necessary information from your ISP to complete the
L2TP configuration:
In the Enable NAT field, check Enable to enable NAT, or check Disable to disable
NAT. Disable this feature if the WAN connection is only used for management
purpose.
In the Enable VLAN field, check Enable to enable VLAN if your ISP uses the VLAN
ID to identify the users. If you enable this feature, specify the VLAN ID and the
802. 1 p priority.
In the MTU field, choose Auto to use the default MTU size, or choose Manual if
you want to specify another size. If you choose Manual, enter the custom MTU
size in bytes.

L2TP server.

into the L2TP server.

Keep Alive: Choose one of the following options:
-
Connect Idle Time: Let the RV315W disconnect
from the Internet after a specified period of
inactivity (Idle Time). This option is recommended if
your ISP fees are based on the time that you spend
online. Enter the idle time in the Maximum Idle Time
field. The default value is 300 seconds.
-
Keep Alive: Keep the connection always on,
regardless of the level of activity. This option is
recommended if you pay a flat fee for your Internet
service. You can specify the interval to automatically
reestablish the WAN connection after the
connection is down. The default value is 30
seconds.
