Multiple calls

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--

[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).
