Multiple Calls - Allied Telesis Rapier Series How-To

Multiple calls

!
1. Alter the configuration of the Allied Telesis device:
add user=tester1 password=password
set user=tester1 ipaddress=192.168.0.2 netmask=255.255.255.255
add user=tester2 password=password
set user=tester2 ipaddress=192.168.0.3 netmask=255.255.255.255
add user=tester3 password=password
set user=tester3 ipaddress=192.168.0.4 netmask=255.255.255.255
set ppp acservice=test maxsessions=3
2. Configure the linux device:
[root@linux_client michael]# ls -l /etc/ppp/peers/
total 12
-rw-r--r--
-rw-r--r--
-rw-r--r--
[root@linux_client michael]# cat /etc/ppp/peers/tester1
name tester1
idle 30
[root@linux_client michael]# cat /etc/ppp/peers/tester2
name tester2
idle 30
[root@linux_client michael]# cat /etc/ppp/peers/tester3
name tester3
idle 30
The "idle 30" means that after 30 seconds, if no traffic goes over a ppp interface, that interface
is brought down.
3. Initiate the connection:
[root@linux_client michael]# pppd pty 'pppoe -I eth1 -U' call tester1
If you want to initiate more than one connection, simply repeat the above command, but
change the call name (as underlined).
