Re: [SLE] howto reset a PPPOE modem?

27 Apr 2002

      Still trying...

I am going to test writting a small script in /etc/ppp/ip-down.local in the 
hope it does some resetting:

#!/bin/sh
rcsmpppd stop
# I could see sometimes stopping smpppd
# leaves the pppd running, just in case kill it
killproc /usr/sbin/pppd
ifconfig eth0 down
sleep 5
ifconfig eth0 up
rcsmpppd start

Any comments?

Hello list,
I have an Alcatel ADSL PPPOE modem connected to eth0 with a persistent
connection.  Sometimes when the line drops the system is unable to
reconnect back again. Looks like the modem is lock somehow.
Do you know any method to reset the modem after disconnection?
