Hi all

I get a Cisco 1841 router, connecting the office through a CHAP PPPoE link: [...] interface Dialer1 ip address negotiated ip mtu 1492 ip nat outside ip virtual-reassembly encapsulation ppp ip tcp adjust-mss 1452 dialer pool 1 dialer-group 1 no cdp enable ppp authentication chap callin ppp chap hostname username@isp ppp chap password 0 s0meStr0ngP4sswd [...]

As a fallback solution, I would like to setup a CentOS Dual NIC 1U unit. I dont want to use NetworkManager, I'd rather use the bare interface configuration tools. I'm running CentOS 6.3

I looked for the right way to configure the internface:

• http://goo.gl/UaNBe: officiel doc, found no indication.
• http://goo.gl/DQ5Gk: using rp-pppoe, is it the right way?
• http://goo.gl/PTaes: seem to be right, but which package is it from?

I am sure someone has something more current, I think my old box was running C5.3 or even earlier. I saved the control files off it and my ifcfg-ppp0 was:

USERCTL=no BOOTPROTO=dialup NAME=DSLppp0 DEVICE=ppp0 TYPE=xDSL ONBOOT=yes PIDFILE=/var/run/pppoe-adsl.pid FIREWALL=NONE PING=. PPPOE_TIMEOUT=80 LCP_FAILURE=3 LCP_INTERVAL=20 CLAMPMSS=1412 CONNECT_POLL=6 CONNECT_TIMEOUT=60 DEFROUTE=yes SYNCHRONOUS=no ETH=eth0 PROVIDER=DSLppp0 USER='me@isp.net' PEERDNS=no DEMAND=no PERSIST=no IPV6INIT=yes PPPD_EXTRA="ipv6 ,"

There was also a ppp directory that had files: options, pap-secrets, and chap-secrets

But like I said, old box.
