OFF??? POINT-TO-POINT

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



 Hi List.

My ISP set up this "IPVPN":

A location:

VLAN4093: ww.xx.yy.zz/30
 Public IP to Internet.
VLAN4094: 192.168.0.2/30
 Endpoint of "VPN" (a tunnel to B)

B location:
192.168.1.2/30 (No VLAN)

I thought that I can set up an point-to-point connection. But this is only available for PPP/SLIP/etc. "driven" interfaces.
I can set up the connection with the following lines in my interfaces file:

auto vlan4094
iface vlan4094 inet static
    address 192.168.0.2
    netmask 255.255.255.255
    pointopoint 192.168.1.2
    vlan_raw_device wan3
    up /sbin/ifconfig vlan4094 up arp
    up /sbin/route add -host 192.168.1.2 dev vlan4094
    down /sbin/route del -host 192.168.1.2 dev vlan4094

This works, however the interface just ignores the pointopoint line....

My question is maybe offtopic, but anyone knows a good reason why the pointopoint feature is not available on "normal" interfaces?

Thanx,

Swifty
