Userland ppp and automode in a router

Userland ppp and automode in a router

Post by colli.. » Wed, 30 Jan 2002 00:03:32



Hallo,

I'm using a router based on PicoBSD 4.4 Release to do PPPoE / DSL. I've run
into a small configuration problem with ppp. I need to use dynamic
addressing so I put the line
set isaddr 0 0
into ppp.conf.

The problem is that I can't then call ppp with the -auto flag so that hte
interface comes up automatically when I want a connection to the Internet.

The fli4l router based on linux can do this so it must be possible. Does
anybody know about this?

Thanks,

Martin.

I solved the problem myself. I needed:

set isaddr 217.0.0.1/8 217.0.0.2/8
