Hi Paco -- Here's an example of configuring PPPOE on Glendale Alpha 2:

Note that there is a bug in Glendale Alpha 2 that will prevent the PPPOE link 
from coming up once configured.  Fortunately, the fix is a one-line change to 
the PPPOE configuration template.  You can make the fix by editing the file:

/opt/vyatta/share/vyatta-cfg/templates/interfaces/ethernet/node.tag/pppoe/node.def

Change the line that reads:

sudo sh -c echo pty \/usr/sbin/pppoe -m 1412 -I $VAR(../@)\  \

to instead read:

sudo sh -c echo pty \\\/usr/sbin/pppoe -m 1412 -I $VAR(../@)\\\  \

I.e. there need to be three backslash characters before the second and third 
quote character.

After you have made that change, reboot your system, and PPPOE should work as 
expected.  This fix has been checked into the source tree and will be in our 
next Glendale release, BTW.

If the link doesn't come up, you can use tcpdump on the ethernet interface to 
troubleshoot, e.g.:

vyatta:~# tcpdump -n -e -i eth3

Note also that we have a command to force the link down,e,g:

vyatta:~# set interface pppoe pppoe7 down
Bringing PPPOE interface pppoe7 down
vyatta:~#

and a command to bring the link back up:

vyatta:~# set interface pppoe pppoe7 up
Bringing PPPOE interface pppoe7 up.
vyatta:~#

Bringing the link down and back up re-starts the PPPOE protocol exchange from 
scratch, so my usual troubleshooting technique is to run tcpdump on the 
ethernet interface, then bring the PPPOE link down and back up, then watch the 
protocol exchanges.

I hope that helps!

Bob.

[Vyatta-users] Problems with Glendale Alpha 2

2008-02-28 Thread Paco Alcantara 
Some problems when trying Alpha 2

1.- Error when trying install-system to install Alpha2 in a hard disk (I
am using VMWare environment).

Basically, the equipment ask me to perform a mount. When I say no the
process finishes; when I say yes it tells me something like Mounting
error and the process finishes.

2.- I am looking for PPPoE commands are I cannot find them. Any help??

Well I have seen the commands in the documentation but when I try to
configure the interface

set interfaces ethernet eth0  the next item that could be pppoe is not
available. Where is my error??

Regards.
Paco.

1. What error are you seeing?
 
2. Have you looked at the PPPoE documentation on Vyatta.org?

What error did you get with install-system?  We have seen some issues with
vmware's scsi hard drive not being recognized, so if that's the issue then
you might try editing the virtual machine to use an IDE hard drive
instead.
