Howdy,
I'm on dialup using pppd and loosing the connection often in the
middle of fetching mail or loading some URL in the browser. I'm hoping
for suggestions to help me debug the problem.
root@/deb60:~> grep -v '^\s*$\|^#' /etc/ppp/options
asyncmap 0
auth
crtscts
lock
hide-password
modem
debug
lcp-echo-interval 30
lcp-echo-failure 4
noipx
My logs show this when I close the connection with 'poff':
Sep 16 08:56:01 playground pppd[13474]: Script /etc/ppp/ip-down
started (pid 13504)
Sep 16 08:56:01 playground pppd[13474]: sent [LCP TermReq id=0x2
"User request"]
Sep 16 08:56:01 playground pppd[13474]: Script /etc/ppp/ip-down
finished (pid 13504), status = 0x0
Sep 16 08:56:01 playground pppd[13474]: rcvd [LCP TermAck id=0x2]
Often I see this:
Sep 16 14:07:23 playground pppd[1762]: Script /etc/ppp/ip-up
started (pid 1773)
Sep 16 14:07:23 playground pppd[1762]: Script /etc/ppp/ip-up
finished (pid 1773), status = 0x0
Sep 16 14:12:52 playground pppd[1762]: Script /etc/ppp/ip-down
started (pid 1955)
Sep 16 14:12:52 playground pppd[1762]: sent [LCP TermReq id=0x2
"Peer not responding"]
Sep 16 14:12:53 playground pppd[1762]: Script /etc/ppp/ip-down
finished (pid 1955), status = 0x0
I also see this:
Sep 20 07:21:36 playground pppd[24179]: Script /etc/ppp/ip-up
started (pid 24185)
Sep 20 07:21:36 playground pppd[24179]: Script /etc/ppp/ip-up
finished (pid 24185), status = 0x0
Sep 20 07:23:56 playground pppd[24179]: Script /etc/ppp/ip-down
started (pid 24208)
Sep 20 07:23:58 playground pppd[24179]: Script /etc/ppp/ip-down
finished (pid 24208), status = 0x0
Here I should think there would be a longer wait if there were a
timeout for lack of response.
Sep 20 09:22:55 playground pppd[24397]: sent [LCP EchoReq id=0x3
magic=0xfc0294d0]
Sep 20 09:22:55 playground pppd[24397]: rcvd [LCP EchoRep id=0x3
magic=0x0]
Sep 20 09:23:25 playground pppd[24397]: sent [LCP EchoReq id=0x4
magic=0xfc0294d0]
Sep 20 09:23:50 playground pppd[24397]: Script /etc/ppp/ip-down
started (pid 24416)
Sep 20 09:23:52 playground pppd[24397]: Script /etc/ppp/ip-down
finished (pid 24416), status = 0x0
Again I expect ip-down came before the timeout:
Sep 20 09:22:55 playground pppd[24397]: rcvd [LCP EchoRep id=0x3
magic=0x0]
Sep 20 09:23:25 playground pppd[24397]: sent [LCP EchoReq id=0x4
magic=0xfc0294d0]
Sep 20 09:23:50 playground pppd[24397]: Script /etc/ppp/ip-down
started (pid 24416)
Sep 20 09:23:52 playground pppd[24397]: Script /etc/ppp/ip-down
finished (pid 24416), status = 0x0
I can see that sometimes my ISP seems to go to sleep but other
times it appears to be some other problem and I just don't know how to
gather the data to make an informed diagnosis.
Any suggestions on how to track pppd's shutdown with greater
resolution will be appreciated.
Thanks;
Mike
