* Tried to rename interfaces for each technology I'm using
* Doing some different iptables setups based on the prefix of the
interface
Based on the original Debian patch which is using ifname parameter to
rename the interface
of the outgoing interfaces I've create 2 patches to solve the issue of
the incomming connections
of different technologies I'm using on my routers: pptp, pppoe or l2tp.
I want to do differences between those thenologies and rename the
interfaces in format like:
pptp0, pptp1, pppoes2, pppoes3, l2tp4.
I've changed the original patch and I've added a detection of the ifname
format. If you put
"ifname pppoesN" the patch will detect the character 'N' and will rename
the interfaces using
the prefix "pppoes" and add the unit of the ppp interface.
Then using a regex in radius plugin split the prefix part of the
interface name (previously was
using a sscanf function) and extract the unit id and create correct
NAS-port-id.
First I've tried to use ip-pre-up/ip-up scripts but I discover that
radius plugin couldn't detect the interface
and also some parts of the ppp couldn't get the correct interface name.
So I've decided to rename the interface
directly in ppp core.
Hope this patch will be useful for many administrators.
