I am setting up to migrate to providing my own PPPoE router, and I am starting (information wise) pretty much from scratch.
My ISP says that once he configs the ADSL router to bridge mode, my router (running Centos 5.2 btw) will need to use pppoe to connect and get the IPv4 address block and IPv6 prefix. I am NOT suppose to configure any addresses for the ethernet interface connected to the bridge, those addresses (v4 and v6) will be assigned during the PPPoE negotiation. Further I am going to set up static IPv4 routes for the internal interface. Shorewall's part in all of this is to set up the IPv4 iptables to protect the router from connections and to stop basic nonsense attacks. IPv6 will be done separately. The lack of an IP address on the pppoe interface should not be a problem, correct? The interface file just refers to the inferface name (e.g.eth0) and I can stay away from IP addresses in the rules. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards: VOTE NOW!
