Note
To maximize extensibility while still permitting interoperability, a
uniform method for encoding message types and bodies is used
throughout L2TP.  This encoding will be termed AVP (Attribute-Value
Pair).

General Error Codes

Available Formats

CSV
ValueMessage DescriptionReference
0No general error
1No control connection exists yet for this LAC-LNS pair
2Length is wrong
3One of the field values was out of range or reserved field was non-zero
4Insufficient resources to handle this operation now
5The Session ID is invalid in this context
6A generic vendor-specific error occurred in the LAC
7Try another. If LAC is aware of other possible LNS destinations, it should try one of them. This can be used to guide an LAC based on LNS policy, for instance, the existence of multilink PPP bundles.
8Session or tunnel was shutdown due to receipt of an unknown AVP with the M-bit set (see section 4.2). The Error Message SHOULD contain the attribute of the offending AVP in (human readable) text form.
9Try another directed. If an LAC or LNS is aware of other possible destinations, it should inform the initiator of the control connection or session. The Error Message MUST contain a comma-separated list of addresses from which the initiator may choose. If the L2TP data channel runs over IPv4, then this would be a comma-separated list of IP addresses in the canonical dotted-decimal format (e.g., "192.0.2.1, 192.0.2.2, 192.0.2.3") in the UTF-8 charset [RFC3629] using the Default Language [RFC2277]. If there are no servers for the LAC or LNS to suggest, then Error Code 7 should be used. For IPv4, the delimiter between addresses MUST be precisely a single comma and a single space. For IPv6, each literal address MUST be enclosed in "[" and "]" characters, following the encoding described in [RFC2732].
10Next hop unreachable. This identifies an error condition explicitly in the multi-TSA environment.[draft-ietf-l2tpext-tunnel-switching-06]
11Next hop busy. This identifies an error condition explicitly in the multi-TSA environment.[draft-ietf-l2tpext-tunnel-switching-06]
