L2TP over PPPoA

[dannymcca]

I am wanting to connect a layer 2 device to an 887VA which will communicate through an ADSL line (PPPoA) with another 887VA router which is connected to a PC.

My question is whether this is possible using L2TP?

If not, how can this be done as the layer 2 device does not have an ip address.

If this is possible how can I do this? I have been trying but dont seem to be making progress.

Many thanks.

Hi,

I am using 2 887va routers and it is ios 15.1.

The xconnect is not available on the vlan interface. the F0 port does give the option for xconnect i.e. it auto completes and prompts for the ip address.

Thanks,

Danny
