L2TP VPN connection fails in a test environment
I could not get a L2TP client to lan configuration to work on my ER605. I took it out of service and put it in a test environment to troubleshoot it. I have the following:
Local Area network IP range: 192.168.1.0/24
Windows 11 client IP address: 192.168.1.103
ER605 WAN Port Address: 192.168.1.108
ER605 LAN Port Address: 10.35.0.1
ER605 LAN IP range 10.35.0.0/24
Windows 11 client on the ER605 IP Address 10.35.0.101
Both Windows 11 clients can reach the internet.
I want to setup a L2TP/IPSEC tunnel such that the Windows client at 192.168.1.103 can RDP to the Windows client at 10.35.0.101. I have configured the ER605 as follows:
VPN IP Pool:
L2TP VPN:
VPN User:
On the Windows 11 connecting client I have the L2PT client configured as follows:
I have tried every possible combination of authentication protocols in the following screen with no success:
Every time I try to connect I get an immediate error: "The L2TP connection attempt failed because the security policy for the connection was not found". In the Event Viewer I see the following error: "CoId={CBEE639E-5C4F-0003-EA3D-24CC4F5CDB01}: The user HOME\jheimann dialed a connection named Test which has failed. The error code returned on failure is 791."
I cannot get this to work. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Testing John
