I am running 4.3 GENERIC.MP. I appear to have hit an issue whereby two adsl modems are presenting the same LCP session. I believe this is confusing pppoe(4). I am unable to reconfigure the session presented by the modem (which I believe likely to be the case on most devices).
Scenario:- - Two ethernet interfaces connected directly to two adsl bridge modems (which do pppoa<>pppoe, but pppoe as far as obsd is concerned), configured as pppoe1 and pppoe2. - Either pppoe interface will connect as long as the other interface is set to 'down'. - If you try and bring the other interface up whilst the other is active, you get the following :- Oct 14 18:49:55 hadrian /bsd: pppoe1: session 0x6 connected Oct 14 18:49:55 hadrian /bsd: pppoe1: lcp open(initial) Oct 14 18:49:55 hadrian /bsd: pppoe1: lcp initial->starting Oct 14 18:49:55 hadrian /bsd: pppoe1: phase establish Oct 14 18:49:55 hadrian /bsd: pppoe1: lcp up(starting) Oct 14 18:49:55 hadrian /bsd: pppoe1: lcp starting->req-sent Oct 14 18:49:55 hadrian /bsd: pppoe1: lcp output <conf-req id=0x85 len=10 05-06-32-b5-5d-33> Oct 14 18:49:55 hadrian /bsd: pppoe1 (8864) state=3, session=0x6 output -> 00:50:7f:37:80:1b, len=18 Oct 14 18:49:56 hadrian /bsd: pppoe1: lcp TO(req-sent) rst_counter = 10 Oct 14 18:49:56 hadrian /bsd: pppoe1: lcp output <conf-req id=0x86 len=10 05-06-32-b5-5d-33> .. which repeats 10 times and resets, then repeats indefinately. I believe the issue is with "session=0x6". This is the same session number that is associated with the interface that is currently up and working (pppoe2 in this example). Unfortunately i'm not a developer, but the guy who found this for me suggested to look at "sys/net/if_pppoe.c:pppoe_find_softc_by_session()" and hinted that the behaviour of this should change. Is anyone aware of this issue? I've never submitted a bug before :-) Thanks
