IOS-XE ISR 4K L2TPv3 and SM-X

I can't get L2TPv3 to work from the SM-X backplane interface on an ISR 4K (4331/4451).

The tunnel/session both show established, but no egress packets are being sent.

The same configuration works fine if I move the xconnect to a dot1q subinterface on one of the ISR 4K physical interfaces (i.e. gi0/0/1.199), but I'd rather not have to use a physical cable going from one of the router's interfaces to the SM-X interfaces...

Anyone know if this is the correct method for configuring L2TPv3 on the SM-X backplane interface?

Thanks!

I opened a TAC case and it turns out this is not yet supported.  Still waiting on an ETA for a feature update.  In the meantime, a workaround will have to be physically cabling one of the ISR 4K ports to the SM-X to use as a trunk rather than the backplane interface.  Boo!

Looks like it might be supported now.

reports the l2tpv3 feature supported in various ISR4k platforms as wel as x900 according to Cisco Feature Navigator.
n.b. we tested this fine on 2921's, when the connection is moved to a 4331 for one of them there are no packets passed.

Can you explain how you moved the xconnect to the ISR4331 dot1q sub-if ?
Mine won't support the connect command on a sub-if ?
It has the appxk9 license.

it does support the commands now, must have been operator error :]

Hello

 

did you finally managed to make it work ? I'm facing the same issue and I wanted to know if now it is supported or not.

 

thanks

Yes, the solution was not to try and use L3 ip addresses on the sub-interfaces.
I had to use dot1q trunking and make the xconnect using the parent I-f.

Hi,

thanks

but you finally still used one of the physical interface of the ISR. Did you succeed to use L2TPv3 on the ethernet-Internal interface ? I mean instead of using and extra external cable, using the backplace interface ?

 

thanks

No, that wasn't the intention.
I wanted to tunnel L2 traffic in the same VLAN i.e. a pseudowire or stretched vlan.
>From a logical interface, could you not assign an ip address and use a GRE tunnel ?
