RS700 - passing L2TP traffic to internal server
[NOTE: I am preconfiguring an RS700 on my local LAN so I can send it to a remote family member. Hence, the "external" address of the RS700 is a private address (192.168.3.155); the LAN/internal addre...

Once I disconnected the 192.168.3.x ethernet, everything worked as expected.
Thanks for your help! Apologies if this is a rookie mistake...
It will be replacing an existing R7800 so I'm not expecting any issues as long as I can get the VPN connectivity working.
If you have the RS behind the R7800, try using the R7800 DMZ for the RS router in router mode.
Does the RS not work in place of the R7800?
Can you configure the RS router for AP mode, disable the wifi radios on the R7800 and see if the passing of L2TP traffic works in that configuration?
