/sbin/ifconfig ne0 up +! /sbin/spppcontrol $int myauthproto=pap myauthname=testcaller \e + myauthkey=donttell +! /sbin/ifconfig $int inet 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffffff +! /sbin/route add default 0.0.0.1 +up +.Ed +.Pp +Since this is a PPP interface, the addresses assigned to the interface +may change during PPP negotiation. +There is no fine grained control available for deciding +which addresses are acceptable and which are not. +For the local side and the remote address there is exactly one choice: +hard coded address or wildcard. +If a real address is assigned to one side of the connection, +PPP negotiation will only agree to exactly this address. +If one side is wildcarded, +every address suggested by the peer will be accepted. +.Pp +To wildcard the local address set it to 0.0.0.0, to wildcard the remote +address set it to 0.0.0.1. +.Sh OPTIONS +A +.Nm +enabled kernel will not interfere with other +.Nm PPPoE +implementations running on the same machine. +Under special circumstances +(details below) this is not desirable, so the +.Nm +driver can be told to kill all unknown +.Nm PPPoE +sessions received by the Ethernet interface used for a configured +.Nm +interface. +To do this, +add the following to your kernel config file: +.Pp +.Dl options PPPOE_TERM_UNKNOWN_SESSIONS +.Pp +Note that this will break all userland +.Nm PPPoE +implementations using the same Ethernet interface! +.Pp +This option is only useful if you have a static IP address assigned and +your ISP does not use LCP echo requests to monitor the link status. +After a crash or power failure the peer device still tries to send data to +the no longer active session on your computer, and might refuse to +reestablish a new connection, because there already is an open session. +On receipt of such packets, the +.Nm +driver with this option set will send a PADT packet +(request to terminate the session). +The peer will immediately disconnect +the orphaned session and allow a new one to be established. +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr hostname.if 5 , +.Xr ifconfig 8 , +.Xr ppp 8 , +.Xr pppoe 8 , +.Xr spppcontrol 8 +.Rs +.%R RFC 2516 +.%T A Method for Transmitting PPP Over Ethernet (PPPoE) +.%D February 1999 +.Re +.Sh HISTORY +The +.Nm +device appeared in +.Ox 3.7 . +.Sh BUGS +This implementation is client side only. +.Pp +It is important to specify +.Dq Li netmask 0xffffffff +to +.Xr ifconfig 8 . +If the netmask is unspecified, it will be set to 8 when 0.0.0.0 is +configured to the interface, and it will persist after negotiation. |
