Problem with L2TP !!
Dear friends!



I am trying to establish a L2TP tunnel between a LAC (Which is also Acting
as BRAS) and LNS (Which is also acting as BRAS).



User ---------[Cisco 3640 LAC]----- IP Cloud-------[Cisco 3845 LNS]



The problem I am facing is that the scenario is working fine as long as I am
using user account created locally on LNS. However as soon as I enable
radius parameters, LAC stops establishing tunnel with LNS and connects the
user on LAC as pppoe user. After investigation I have found that If I remove
following line from the configuration L2TP Tunnels works perfectly fine;



aaa authorization network default group radius



Can someone tell me Why its happening?? Since I am using @domain in user ids
for L2TP users, LAC should not even refer to Radius. And I need this aaa
authorization parameter since both my LAC and LNS also have PPPoE users
terminated on them.



Following is my LAC and LNS configuration after including my radius
parameteres, same configuration works fine without radius parameters.
