GENERAL ----------- - -This package is used to estabilish basic connection to the -Internet via DSL/ADSL modems. This is also known as the -PPPoE or PPP-over-Ethernet connection. - -The PPPOECD program included in the OpenWrt distribution is a -modified version of the PPPOECD that is present in the original -Linksys firmware. - -This modified version is directly supported by the OpenWrt -startup scripts. - -2. BUILDING ------------ - -If you have a pre-compiled PPPOECD package, skip this section. - -PPPOECD can be built in two ways. As an integrated part -of the OpenWrt FLASH image or as an .ipk package that can -be installed separately. - -To build PPPOECD as an embedded component, add "pppoecd" to the -TARGETS variable in the main OpenWrt Makefile before the -"openwrt-bin" value. - -To build as a standalone package, add "pppoecd" to the -PACKAGES variable in the main OpenWrt Makefile. - -3. NVRAM variables ------------------- - -In order for the PPPoE link to be established by the networking -scripts the following NVRAM variables must be present: - -wan_ifname Should be set to: ppp0 - -wan_proto Should be set to: pppoe - -pppoe_ifname Set it to the WAN interface on which the PPPoE - is to function. On a 2.0 or a GS model it is - usually vlan1. The 1.0 and 1.1 models used vlan2. - -ppp_username User name for your PPPoE connection. - -ppp_passwd Password for the connection. - -ppp_redialperiod Time between reconnect attempts. - Usualy set to 30. - -ppp_idletime Time the link has to stay dead before reconnecting. - Usually set to 5. - -wan_mtu The Maxumum Transfer Unit for the PPPoE connection. - Typically 1492. - -Please consult the OpenWrt WIKI or the forum for more -information on NVRAM variables. - - -4. STARTUP / SHUTDOWN ---------------------- - -OpenWrt will attempt to connect using PPPOECD when starting up. -The script responsible for that is /etc/init.d/S40network. - -You can also manually start the PPPOECD by doing: - - ifup wan - -Similarly you can shutdown the PPPOECD by doing: - - ifdown wan - - -5. CONFIGURATION ----------------- - -PPPoE firewall configuration is the standard OpenWrt configuration -in /etc/init.d/S45firewall that applies to all the other types -of connections to the Internet. - -Additional actions can be performed when connecting or disconnecting -by modifying "ip-up" and "ip-down" scripts in the /etc/ppp directory. - -When connecting, PPPOECD creates /tmp/resolv.conf file that contains -DNS server entries as supplied by the ISP. The standard ip-up -script will also add a default route leading via the PPPoE link. - -6. DIFFERENCES FROM THE ORIGINAL PPPOECD ----------------------------------------- - -The main difference is the location of files. Original Linksys -PPPOECD operated almost exclusively in the /tmp/ppp directory. This -however prevents any persistent configuration of the program via -ip-up or ip-down scripts. Also the program itself was located in -/usr/sbin whereas OpenWrt scripts expect it to be in /sbin directory. - - |
