Hi, Yes its possible, Assuming FortiOS 5.0.x: 1. Edit your dialup ipsec interface under network. 2. Check the DHCP server 3. Change Mode to " Relay" 4. Change Type to " IPSEC" 5. Enter the IP address of the dhcp server.

Thanks. FortiOs v5.2.0,build0589. My tunnel is a Tunnel Mode not an Interface Mode and i don' t see dialup ipsec interface under network.

In that case I would try to change from Policy Mode to Interface Mode. Interface Mode is better in all cases.

Ok but why this : (if clients obtain IP with my DHCP Server) config vpn l2tp set eip XXX.XXX.XXX.20 set sip XXX.XXX.XXX.10 set status enable set usrgrp " VPN GROUP" end eip and sip are unnecessary. ???
