Shorewall users - Apr 2009 - how to see pppoe connection speed and how to start second pppoe

Hi,
I know that this is not directly related to Shorewall or its components.
However, I know that there are many people using pppoe in this list and I
trust their knowledge.
My Linux box which is configured with Shorewall is using pppoe connection
over an adsl modem in bridge mode.
adsl-setup is used for configuration of this connection and the produced
interface is ppp0

I have 2 questions:
1- is there a way to see the established ppp rx/tx speed on the bridge modem
from Linux ? (I can see this on the modem but is it possible to see it on
Linux)
2- I want to connect another ethernet interface to another adsl bridge
modem. how can I start another pppoe connection on this ethernet ? (if I
re-run the adsl-start script again, it configures the first connection again
- overwritng the previous conf)


Thanks.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi,
I am really sorry to ask this question here, but I''ve no other place to
ask
it.
Can anyone kindly answer ?

Thanks,

Hi,

I assume you use rp-pppoe for the connection.
Create another config file in the ppp folder which contains your other identity
and invoke
root# pppoe-start yournewconfig

If you want to play/hardcode the ppp0 to the first and the ppp1 to the second
pppoe connection, then you should append "unit 0" or Unit 1" to
the options file before starting the connection.

I''m currently reconfiguring my router which has 2 pppoe and one dhcp
internet connection, so I had those from experience and a lot of google-ing :)

Good luck.
Andras


You can email straight to me if the list doesn''t want to hear the other
details.

Hi,
Thanks for this information. Actually I was using adsl-start script for the
connection but I can check the pppoe-start if that''s what you suggest.
Can
you tell me which file(s) I should copy and change ?

Also, I''d be glad if you can share information on how to load balance
per
session on ppp0 and ppp1 using Shorewall.

thanks.

Paste us adsl-start script, and I also want to see the full
information of the process that is starting... So give us also:

ps aux | grep adsl-script

or similar.

There are many scripts for the adsl. (adsl-setup, adsl-connect, adsl-start,
adsl-stop etc.)
And they are really long scripts. Would you like me to attach them ?
