L2TP/Ipsec - unclear logs

Dear all,

Since a while I see unclear logs, If a couple of users are connected I see the following eg.

2020:11:16-08:40:18 utm pluto[6634]: "L_for USER&02"[31]

The user which is shown is always the first user of my ltp pool of users but the strange and unclear thing is that this user which is shown L_for User is not connected !?

Additionally I get the following message if a client connects:

Overriding mtu 1500 to 1380

It's not really an issue but I do not understand this behaviour and it may releate to an issue ?

Thx and Best

  • Hallo,

    There's no context for the log line from pluto - maybe show us 10-20 lines before and after?.

    The mtu line seems normal, but, again, without context, it's difficult to "see" what's happening.

    Cheers - Bob

  • Hi,

    As I wrote above, the most mysterious log is the L for user log part which I really do not understand, If some user eg. user x connects all starts with the first configuered user in l2tp in utm. Eg.

  • OK, I can hazard a guess.  If 192.168.178.27 is in a local subnet on an Interface on your UTM, L2TP/IPsec tends to misbehave.
