Good morning/afternoon/evening!
Help! Anyone have any ideas on a method of bypassing or locking Linux's
dynamic allocation of ppp ports?
We have an application where we are using one permanent ppp dial-up (ppp0),
one diald ppp (ppp1), along with a little routing & ipfwadm filtering to do
some mail & www routing.
If the permanent connection never fell over, it would be great, but...
if/when we lose ppp0 (logical ppp0 as well as "real" ppp0), it sometimes
comes back up as logical ppp0 but "real" ppp1.
This completely screws our routing & filtering, and although we have tried
playing with routing and filtering in our ip-up.local file, as we do not
know which ppp (in terms of permanent or diald) has just come up, we cannot
set up our rules properly.
All I want is;
ip-up ppp0 = ppp0 (both logical and "real")
and;
ip-up ppp1 = ppp1 (both logical and "real")
every time.
Too much to ask?
TIA :-)
Colin.
PS - take it easy on me, I'm a real newbie to this scripting stuff!
