Configuration Information
To configure RP-PPPoE
after installation, you should run the adsl-setup
script.
When configuring your connection, you will need to have your
ISP's nameserver information available, as well as your
username and password. You will also be asked whether to configure a
dial-on-demand or a constant connection. If your service provider does not
charge by the minute, it is usually good to have a bootscript handle the
connection for you. You can, of course, choose not to install the
following script, and start your connection manually with the
adsl-start script.
Optionally install the
/etc/sysconfig/network-devices/services/pppoe service
script included with the
package.
make install-service-pppoe
Now create the config file for use with the pppoe
service script:
cat > /etc/sysconfig/network-devices/ifconfig.pppoe << "EOF"
ONBOOT=yes
SERVICE=pppoe
EOF
Also, if you had previously configured the network interface that will now
use PPPoE, you should remove the interface configuration
files for that interface:
/etc/sysconfig/network-devices/ifconfig.eth<X>
.
