Hey there all, I've been having a lot of problems w/ my ISP 'iglou.com' disconnecting my L2TP tunnel that connects my DSL line to my ISP. If this is automatic because of lack of traffic or tunnel errors I just don't know. More importantly though it very bothersome for me to come home and find out my server has been offline. I know that L2TPd has an autoreconnect feature but I just can't seem to get it configured right. Here's all the relevant info I can come up with.
root-# cat /etc/l2tp/l2tpd.conf root-# cat /etc/l2tp/l2tp-secrets # Secrets for authenticating l2tp tunnels # us them secret bw01 204.255.233.225 password root-# cat /etc/ppp/options user bw01 defaultroute asyncmap 0 mru 1464 mtu 1464 noauth root-# cat /etc/ppp/pap-secrets bw01 * password I'm not sure how much of this info any of you might need, but I'd rather supply too much info than too little. I've edited the password fields for obvious reasons. I currently initiate an L2TP tunnel by using the following commands: root-# /usr/local/sbin/l2tpd -D & root-# echo t 204.255.233.225 > /var/run/l2tp-control root-# echo c <tid> > /var/run/l2tp-control This always works fine for initiating a connection, but when my ppp tunnel is dropped I have to manually issue the preceding commands again. I know there is a better way to do this, but I can't seem to figure it out yet. Anyone here who could share an l2tpd.conf file or offer any advice I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks all, Alan
