Hi, I have a question regarding the new Multilink implementation in the PPP-2.4.3. I am running this on Fedora Core 2, kernel-2.6.10.
Starting 2.4.3 a call drop on primary link does not destroy the bundle, instead the first pppd keeps running until there is atleast one active link in the bundle. Nice! For example, if I have two dial-up connection multilinked together. Even if the first link is dropped, since the second link is active the interface ppp0 is active and the connection still exists. But the problem is I am unable to redial the dropped link because the pppd process is still running on that link and the serial port is locked. If I try to redial the first link, I get an error: Feb 1 17:48:33 dhcp034 pppd[3417]: tcgetattr: No such device or address (line 907) The only way I can redial is terminate (kill -9) the first pppd process (and hence terminate all the links of the bundle) and redial all of them. My question is: Is there anyway in which I can redial the dropped primary (first) link once a call drop/hangup occurs without destroying the whole bundle. Note: This is a test setup and I control both ends of the ppp connection. Please give your comments/suggestions Thanks, Abdul __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
