Value: 1

9

Save your changes and restart the computer for the changes to take effect.

You must add the

ProhibitIpSec

registry value to each Windows XP-based

endpoint computer of an L2TP or IPSec connection to prevent the automatic filter for
L2TP and IPSec traffic from being created. When the

ProhibitIpSec

registry value

is set to 1, your Windows XP-based computer does not create the automatic filter that
uses CA authentication. Instead, it checks for a local or active directory IPSec policy.

Note: If a RADIUS server is used for authentication do not select Require data encryption.
L2TP encryption is not supported for RADIUS server authentication.

Note: The default Windows XP L2TP traffic policy does not allow L2TP traffic without IPSec
encryption. You can disable default behavior by editing the Windows XP Registry as described
in the following steps. See the Microsoft documentation for editing the Windows Registry.
