I don't have an ip_ip.d nor an ip_down.d ... I am using the stock PPP.LRP & PPPOE.LRP packages ... so maybe you're talking apples and I'm eating oranges? My DSL modem is configured to be a pass-thru bridge, so all the PPP/PPPOE brains lie within my LEAF box.
One possible way that you can check for the up/down status is to see if your defaultroute has disappeared, something like (pseudocode):
if ( ip route | grep "default" ) = "" then
link is down...
else
link is up...
endif

Hi everybody
I am playing with ppp/pppoe and VPN connections on Bering boxes. The nature of VPN requires the ipsec connections to be restarted when the IP address on the gateway changes, Having little experience with pppoe and no inclination to invent the wheel once more I'd like to ask for a few pointers
- Is there a method which is invoked at IP change (comparable to dhcp hooks) - Is there an easy way to detect a line down condition on the DLS end, e.g. does PPPD report this somewhere?
I already tried to to set a few scripts in ip_up.d ip_down.d to now avail yet.
Thanks for hints Erich
