+.SH NAME
+startup\-config \- configuration file for l2tpns
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+/etc/l2tpns/startup-config
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B startup-config
+is the configuration file for
+.BR l2tpns .
+.PP
+The format is plain text, in the same format as accepted by the
+configuration mode of
+.BR l2tpns 's
+telnet administrative interface. Comments are indicated by either the
+character
+.B #
+or
+.BR ! .
+.SS SETTINGS
+Settings are specified with
+.IP
+.BI "set " "variable value"
+.PP
+The following
+.IR variable s
+may be set:
+.RS
+.TP
+.B debug
+Set the level of debugging messages written to the log file. The
+value should be between 0 and 5, with 0 being no debugging, and 5
+being the highest.
+.TP
+.B log_file
+This will be where all logging and debugging information is written
+to. This may be either a filename, such as
+.BR /var/log/l2tpns ,
+or the string
+.BR syslog : \fIfacility\fR ,
+where
+.I facility
+is any one of the syslog logging facilities, such as
+.BR local5 .
+.TP
+.B pid_file
+If set, the process id will be written to the specified file. The
+value must be an absolute path.
+.TP
+.B l2tp_secret
+The secret used by
+.B l2tpns
+for authenticating tunnel request. Must be the same as the LAC, or
+authentication will fail. Only actually be used if the LAC requests
+authentication.
+.TP
+.BR primary_dns , " secondary_dns"
+Whenever a PPP connection is established, DNS servers will be sent to the
+user, both a primary and a secondary. If either is set to 0.0.0.0, then that
+one will not be sent.
+.TP
+.B save_state
+When
+.B l2tpns
+receives a STGTERM it will write out its current ip_address_pool,
+session and tunnel tables to disk prior to exiting to be re-loaded at
+startup. The validity of this data is obviously quite short and the
+intent is to allow an sessions to be retained over a software upgrade.
+.TP
+.BR primary_radius , " secondary_radius"
+Sets the RADIUS servers used for both authentication and accounting.
+If the primary server does not respond, then the secondary RADIUS
+server will be tried.
+.TP
+.BR primary_radius_port , " secondary_radius_port"
+Sets the authentication ports for the primary and secondary RADIUS
+servers. The accounting port is one more than the authentication
+port. If no ports are given, authentication defaults to 1645, and
+accounting to 1646.
+.TP
+.B radius_accounting
+If set to true, then RADIUS accounting packets will be sent. A
+.B Start
+record will be sent when the session is successfully authenticated,
+and a
+.B Stop
+record when the session is closed.
+.TP
+.B radius_secret
+Secret to be used in RADIUS packets.
+.TP
+.B bind_address
+When the tun interface is created, it is assigned the address
+specified here. If no address is given, 1.1.1.1 is used. Packets
+containing user traffic should be routed via this address if given,
+otherwise the primary address of the machine.
+.TP
+.B peer_address
+Address to send to clients as the default gateway.
+.TP
+.B send_garp
+Determines whether or not to send a gratuitous ARP for the
+.B bind_address
+when the server is ready to handle traffic (default: true). This
+setting is ignored if BGP is configured.
+.TP
+.B throttle_speed
+Sets the default speed (in kbits/s) which sessions will be limited to.
+.TP
+.B throttle_buckets
+Number of token buckets to allocate for throttling. Each throttled
+session requires two buckets (in and out).
+.TP
+.B accounting_dir
+If set to a directory, then every 5 minutes the current usage for
+every connected use will be dumped to a file in this directory.
+.TP
+.B setuid
+After starting up and binding the interface, change UID to this. This
+doesn't work properly.
+.TP
+.B dump_speed
+If set to true, then the current bandwidth utilization will be logged
+every second. Even if this is disabled, you can see this information
+by running the
+.B
+uptime
+command on the CLI.
+.TP
+.B cleanup_interval
+Interval between regular cleanups (in seconds).
+.TP
+.B multi_read_count
+Number of packets to read off each of the UDP and TUN fds when
+returned as readable by select (default: 10). Avoids incurring the
+unnecessary system call overhead of select on busy servers.
+.TP
+.B scheduler_fifo
+Sets the scheduling policy for the
+.B l2tpns
+process to
+.BR SCHED_FIFO .
+This causes the kernel to immediately preempt any currently running
+.B SCHED_OTHER
+(normal) process in favour of
+.B l2tpns
+when it becomes runnable.
+.br
+Ignored on uniprocessor systems.
+.TP
+.B lock_pages
+Keep all pages mapped by the
+.B l2tpns
+process in memory.
+.TP
+.B icmp_rate
+Maximum number of host unreachable ICMP packets to send per second.
+.TP
+.B cluster_address
+Multicast cluster address (default: 239.192.13.13).
+.TP
+.B cluster_interface
+Interface for cluster packets (default: eth0).
+.TP
+.B cluster_hb_interval
+Interval in tenths of a second between cluster heartbeat/pings.
+.TP
+.B cluster_hb_timeout
+Cluster heartbeat timeout in tenths of a second. A new master will be
+elected when this interval has been passed without seeing a heartbeat
+from the master.
+.RE
+.SS BGP ROUTING
+The routing configuration section is entered by the command
+.IP
+.BI "router bgp " as
+.PP
+where
+.I as
+specifies the local AS number.
+.PP
+Subsequent lines prefixed with
+.BI "neighbour " peer
+define the attributes of BGP neighhbours. Valid commands are:
+.IP
+.BI "neighbour " peer " remote-as " as
+.br
+.BI "neighbour " peer " timers " "keepalive hold"
+.PP
+Where
+.I peer
+specifies the BGP neighbour as either a hostname or IP address,
+.I as
+is the remote AS number and
+.IR keepalive ,
+.I hold
+are the timer values in seconds.
