17. Select OK to save the changes within the T2TP Tunnel screen. Select Reset to revert the screen
to its last saved configuration.
18. Select the Manual Session tab.
After a successful tunnel connection and establishment, individual sessions can be
created. Each session is a single data stream. After successful session establishment,
data corresponding to that session (pseudowire) can be transferred. If a session is down,
the pseudowire associated with it is shut down as well.

19. Refer to the following manual session configurations to determine whether one should be
created or modified:
Native VLAN Select this option to provide a VLAN ID that will not be tagged in tunnel establishment and
packet transfer.
IP Address Lists the IP address assigned as the local tunnel end point address, not the interface IP
address. This IP is used as the tunnel source IP address. If this parameter is not specified,
the source IP address is chosen automatically based on the tunnel peer IP address. This
parameter is applicable when establishing the session and responding to incoming requests.
Local Session ID Displays the numeric identifier assigned to each listed tunnel session. This is the pseudowire
ID for the session. This pseudowire ID is sent in a session establishment message to the
L2TP peer.
MTU Displays each sessions’s maximum transmission unit (MTU). The MTU is the size (in bytes) of
the largest protocol data unit the layer can pass between tunnel peers in this session. A
larger MTU means processing fewer packets for the same amount of data.
