Trigger conditional reconnect on WAN (PPPoE)

joesl

Hello everyone,

I would like to explore the possibility to add a custom script that triggers a reconnection of a PPPoE WAN if the IP received is not of my liking (i.e. if IP is 100.x.x.x then reconnect). I don't think this is possible via the GUI .. but please, feel free to correct me.

Could someone please point me in the right direction?

I was thinking of registering a cron to run each minute for a script like:

#!/bin/bash 

FIRST_IP_OCT=$(ifconfig | grep -A1 "pppoe0:" | tail -1 | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's/\..*//')

if [[ $FIRST_IP_OCT = "100" ]]
then
	/usr/local/sbin/ppp-linkdown
	/usr/local/sbin/ppp-linkup
fi

This is not tested, but you get the idea.

Thanks a lot!
