Cisco IOS L2TP

Description

The two PCs on subnet 10.1.1.0/24 can communicate with each over via layer 2. This is possible because of the L2TP configuration on the routers. The routers are not, and do not need to be, on the same layer 2 subnet as the PCs. The fourth router, R4, was added to demonstrate an alternative path that can be used via OSPF.
