L2TP Receiver and Docker prerequisites
Last Updated: June 30, 2026

ServAssure Collection Platform installs the ServAssure L2TP Receiver inside a Docker container. If your deployment includes the ServAssure L2TP Receiver, you must run the Docker playbook before installing ServAssure Collection Platform.

In a Remote PHY system, L2TPv3 is carried directly over IP and does not use TCP or UDP. You must ensure that your network allows for these packets to be forwarded, for example, by ensuring that any configured ACLs on intervening switches allow packets with IP protocol 115 (IP_PROTO(115)) as their transport protocol.

The following are required to support ServAssure L2TP Receiver installation:
  • The ansible-docker package
  • An Ansible Management Server running Ansible 2.9.6.0 and Python3.
  • Enablement of IP protocol 115 as the network transport protocol.
  • The following local or online repositories, for your operating system, accessible to ServAssure Collection Platform nodes, containing the listed required packages:
    • RHEL 7
