Hey!
I was wondering if anyone is using FreeBSD as a gateway to the Sentech network via PPPoE? I have got it working, however there are a few more things that needs to be sorted out. Hopefully it will work fine once these issues have been resolved. I think the big problem is getting the right configuration settings in the ppp.conf. I will post samples of my configuration files here when I get home. There are a lot of docs on the net that gave good guidelines but I could not get a definition for all the parameters being used by various people in the ppp.conf file. Anyone got any ideas where this is documented?
Here is a quick overview of my setup:
* FBSD 5.2.1
* Custom kernel with all the IPFW options.
* Not required to manually compile in any PPPoE options as it comes with the Generic kernel in 5.2.1.
* 2 Nics
* 1 NIC for Sentech PPPoE
* 1 NIC for internal LAN.
* Unfortunately dont have my config files here, as I say will post later.
* Made the changes in rc.conf to enable, nat, ifpw, pppoe etc.
If anyone is using FreeBSD as a Sentech gateway via PPPoE please post samples of your config files & kernel changes etc. And dont complain about my FBSD5.2.1
they reworked the ATA code and I love it!
