I need basic PPPoE startup help.
adsl-start DID bring up my PPPoE link (ppp0) to my ISP over eth0 via the
DSL modem/bridge. My IPv4 CIDR block is routing and Shorewall is doing
the firewalling.
But shorewall has to be started after ppp0 is up and working. For now
this means running shorewall restart (or start?). Shorewall 4.2 will
have a way to restart shorewall without recompiling, I learned on the
their list.
In /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 I have:
BOOTPROTO=dialup
NAME=DSLppp0
DEVICE=ppp0
TYPE=xDSL
ONBOOT=no
Should ONBOOT be changed to yes, or is there some startup script that I
should add the
/sbin/adsl-start ppp0
command line followed with the shorewall restart command?
I am away at IEEE 802 plenary meeting next week, and I need this to be
automated in case of system glitches.
Also sometimes the Speedstream just stops forwarding datagrams.
Supposedly if it overheats. This requires a power recycle for the
speedstream (and my ISP will not use anything else for the modem
services). I suspect this will glich the PPPoE connection as well, so I
will need some sort of watchdog and a restart of ppp0 and Shorewall.
Attached is a rather large script of a user that I picked up on the
Shorewall list for some Linux distro. I am NOT a script reader, let
alone writer. Should I use this (how would I modify it for Centos and a
ppp0 interface) and where would I place it to run as needed?

#THIS SCRIPT CREATED BY EJM (alias Erik Mundall) IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN A
CONSTANT CONNECTION WITH THE TWO
#PPPOE ADSL LINES WHICH HAVE PROVEN TO BE UNRELIABLE/UNSTABLE. 15 APRIL
2008
#
#THIS PROGRAM NEEDS TO FOLLOW THE FOLLOWING ROUTINE IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN
CONNECTIVITY OF THE TWO PPPOE LINES
#AND TO SHARE THE INTERNET LOAD ACROSS THOSE AND ACROSS THE STATIC LINE
#
#THE STATIC SHOULD NEVER FAIL. THIS SCRIPT IS INTENDED TO ADDRESS ONLY
THE INSTABILITY OF THE TWO PPPOE
#LINES, AND WILL DO NOTHING FOR THE STATIC LINE IF IT SHOULD FAIL.
#
#
#STEP ONE: THE PROGRAM SHOULD IDENTIFY THE LINE(S) THAT ARE DOWN, IF
ANY, AND ISOLATE THEM.
#STEP TWO: THE PROGRAM SHOULD RECONFIGURE AND RESTART SHOREWALL TO
MATCH THE LINES THAT ARE UP.
#STEP THREE: THE PROGRAM SHOULD FOCUS ON RESTORING THE DROPPED PPPOE
LINE(S).
#STEP FOUR: THE PROGRAM MUST REPEAT STEP TWO ONCE STEP THREE HAS
SUCCEEDED.
