Hoping someone can confirm this for me...

I have a draytek 2862 configured with L2TP VPN authenticating against a Windows domain server. There is around 15 users configured who can use the L2TP connection but when the router has around 9-10 users connected no one else can connect until someone else drops off.

Is this a limitation of the 2862 or limit of Windows Server RADIUS?

The specs. imply either 16 or 32 users/connections (depending on how you read it).

AFAIK, RADIUS is only used during the authentication phase - there's no connection that needs to be maintained.

Maybe you've exhausted some other resource (DHCP leases too long, maybe?).

What does SYSLOG have to say?

Yeah i was getting 16/32 users when reading......hence me posting here to confirm.


DHCP is set to 8 hours and loads left in the range for remote users...

Will check the SYSLOG... on server or router?

Draytek Routers write any meaningful diagnostic information to a SYSlog server, if one is configured. In theory, you can view the same information using its GUI SYSlog reader - but I can never make head-nor-tail of any information it shows me there. I prefer to use Draytek's own Syslog server , because it sorts the data into tabs.

Assuming Windows Radius is still implemented via NPS (I'm getting rusty on this stuff!), that has its own logfile and configurable options.
