Multiple PPP links under 2.5.1?

Multiple PPP links under 2.5.1?

Post by Mark McWiggi » Sun, 04 Jan 1998 04:00:00



I have a home LAN connected to the Net via a dialup PPP link. I'm
trying to add a dialin modem, but it isn't working and I can't find an
example of how to do this.

In asppp.cf, my main connection is

        ifconfig ipdptp0 plumb manna grace up
        path
                interface ipdptp0
                peer_system_name grace
                ipcp_async_map 0
                inactivity_timeout 0

This has been working fine for 2 years, 'manna' being my local Solaris
host, and 'grace' the remote PPP term server.

I don't see how to add another modem for ppp dialin. Do I need to
create an 'ipdptp1'?

Thanks in advance for any help whatsoever!

Basically, yes. What you need to do is add the following for example to your
existing asppp.cf entry:

ifconfig ipdptp1 plumb manna2 grace2 up
path
interface ipdptp1
peer_system_name grace2
ipcp_async_map 0
inactivity_timeout 0

1. Multiple PPP links to different providers

Hi,

 I have an ISDN/TA and a 56K modem both connected to
 my FreeBSD3.2 box. I have two ISP accounts Demon and
 Eidos. I have configured user PPP with 2 tunnel devices
 to work with TA to Demon and the 56k modem to Eidos.
 Both these configurations work and I can connect to both
 simultaneously. (Incidentally, I'm not paying for the line)

 My question is what can I do to route outbound packets
 to the correct interface to maximize my bandwidth ?

 I guess I need to configure 'routed' but this will probably
 force the lines to be connected all the time for route information
 protocols.

 What I want to do is be totally disconnected when no outbound
 traffic is present, to connect to the ISDN first when traffic
 arrives and set this as the default route, when the bandwidth usage
 peaks at a set level connect with the modem and inteligentally
 route packets to the correct interface.

 Is any of this possible, or is my head in the clouds ?

 I know this probably sounds mad, but I have the equipment so
 I want to use it. I'm not keen on throwing out my 56k modem
 when even with my ISDN I need more bandwidth. One worry
 is that running 'routed' might increase the bandwidth requirement
 for it's routing information that the whole thing is not worth doing.

 I thought about MultiLink/PPP since demon is about to launch this
 but I will still want my modem on as well.

Thanks in advance,

Liam D. Remond.
