We at Mist are constantly working on making the Mist experience the best possible experience. So every week you will see new and updated cloud features. Here are the updates for November 30th, 2017.
Network Programmability
Static L2TP Tunnels
L2TP (Layer 2 Tunnelling Protocol) allows for a private link to be created between two points for the use of secure data transfer. Configure a VPN using L2TP to create a secure link for individuals to access the private network while in remote locations.
Mist is extending our tunneling functionality with support for Static tunnels. Exercise more control over your tunnels by selecting the static tunnel type, where you will be able to define both the Remote Session ID and the Local Session ID. With this additional customizability, have full control over the tunnels in your network.
Navigate to Network -> Tunnels and click on Create Tunnel. Select Static as your tunnel type and define the specific Remote and Local Session IDs. Specify the Type as either Ethernet or VLAN, and add optional comments for each session. Select Create a Sessionto add additional lines.
