Hello, I am building a failover system. I have two Internet interfaces - one simple Ethernet connection fxp1 and a PPPoE connection established using mpd ng0.
I tried to use ifstated to monitor connections. For Ethernet connection a ping test is run and for PPPoE I wanted to use built-in test like ng0.link.up but this one always fails. As I can see ifstated can't for some reason monitor netgraph interface's status. It would be almost normal to use a ping test in this case, but if ethernet interface that has a default route is working, ping test for PPPoE router will not fail as this router will be reachable via ethernet interface. So the ping test is not appliable here. Anyway PPPoE has an excellent LCP mechanism to watch connectivity and it would be great to use it in this case. Please suggest me what can I use to solve this problem. Maybe there is another ifstated-like daemon with maybe more advanced test capability I can use in my situation as I have not found any acceptable. -- Best regards, Oleg Tarasov mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
