I'm using the "console" port on the remote OR-u to dial out to a PM3
on demand. I've been led to believe that this is a "normal" thing to do.
Anyway... It's not working on demand! I have to manually bring up the
connection before anything happens.
For the purpose of this discussions, I will refer to our "main" network as
"local", and the network I'm trying to get attached from as "remote".
The local network is 204.191.210.0/24, and the remote network is
192.168.100.0/24.
On the OR-u I have the following configuration. I've tried a million
different things, so I am *not* saying that what you see here is perfect.
However, it does work for everything except forcing the modem to dial on
demand (ie, the link works properly after I've manually dialed)...
Here is the location that I set up. When it calls in, RADIUS assigns the
link an address of 204.191.219.228. If I don't put in the local_ip bit,
the OR-u insists on asking for the ethernet interface's address, which
won't work.
Location: spots Type: On Demand
Destination: Negotiated Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Local IP: 204.191.210.228
Protocol: PPP Options: Quiet, Compression
Group: 1 Max Ports: 1
Idle Timeout: 5 minutes High Mark: 0 bytes
Mtu: 1500 Async Map: 00000000
Username: test Password: blahblah
Telephone: 9,2320987
Here is the routing table. After I bring the link up manually, the
"Unknown" changes to a real ptp interface name, as you'd expect.
Destination Mask Gateway Source Flag Met Interface
----------------- ---- -------------------- ------- ---- --- ---------
192.168.100.0 24 192.168.100.1 local NL 1 ether0
0.0.0.0 0 204.191.210.11 local NS 1 Unknown
Here are the "sh ether0" settings; pretty normal, I'd think:
Ethernet Status: IP - Enabled IPX - Disabled
Interface Addr: 192.168.100.1
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Broadcast Address: 192.168.100.255

IPX Frame Type: ETHERNET_802.2
Ethernet Address: 00:c0:05:03:1c:f7

Here is the output from "sh glob" -- the only relevant part is probably
the gateway:
System Name: or1

And last but not least, here is the output of "sh s0" which is the async
port...

Any ideas? I'm pretty well stumped here... This router is going to be
connected to a small network in Venezuela where I will NOT have access to
it if it decides to stop calling out on demand... Any suggestions are
more than welcome, of course.
