[gentoo-user] Setting default MTU for rp-pppoe

[gentoo-user] Setting default MTU for rp-pppoe

[Ryan Viljoen]

Hi

Could anyone tell me how I go about setting the default MTU of my
pppoe connection. I am using rp-pppoe to bring it up. It currently
sets it to 1432 and I need it to be 1352.

Thanks 
Rav

/sbin/ifconfig ppp0 mtu 1352

or 1392 whatever tickles your fancy

If you wish your mtu to be set when booting up do the following :

cd /etc/ppp/

fire up vim or your favourite editor and edit pppoe.conf

go all the way to the bottom and add this line

mtu="1352"


save.

Tried that it doesnt work I am afraid. 

As you can see no change in the mtu...
ppp0      Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
          inet addr:196.2.100.119  P-t-P:196.30.31.100  Mask:255.255.255.255
          UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST  MTU:1432  Metric:1
          RX packets:316 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:287 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:3
          RX bytes:43856 (42.8 Kb)  TX bytes:37356 (36.4 Kb)

ifconfig ppp0 mtu 1352 works however but I want it to set the ppp0 mtu
to 1352 as default when the connection comes up.

ok, so then try this

nano /etc/conf.d/local.start

and add 

ifconfig ppp0 mtu 1352

on a new line

It's buried in the rp-pppoe config file (can't remember what the name
of the option is, but if you look for 1432, that should help).
rp-pppoe will always override the MTU you set elsewhere...

Yeah I was hoping it wouldnt come to adding it in there paul. Looks
like I am going to.

James I grep'd all the files in /etc/ppp/ for 1432 with out any success.

The only problem with this is that if the connection drops than the
MTU will return to 1432.

Sorry -- it's been a long time since I've fiddled with rp-pppoe. The
setting's actually buried and hard-coded in /usr/sbin/adsl-connect...
around line 223 (PPP_STD_OPTIONS)...

Perfect thanks James. That worked perfectly... Hmmm never throught to
look in the connect scripts.

Cheers

Found an easier way to do it instead of editting the adsl-connect
script, for future reference.
In /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf there is the following line: PPPD_EXTRA=""
(round line 136) you can list any extra arguments here that you would
like to pass to pppd, like:
PPPD_EXTRA="mtu 1352 mru 1352 logfd 1" to set the MTU and logging or
whatever. Instead of having to edit the script file. It also overrides
the defaults. :P
