Hi all, idle curiosity here more than anything.....
I noticed that if I bring up a pppd link with a GSM modem to an osmo stack GPRS network, I get assigned an IP address from the pool as configured on osmo-ggsn;
ip prefix dynamic 10.20.0.0/16 ip dns 0 192.168.11.2 ip dns 1 192.168.11.2 ip ifconfig 10.20.20.253/16
but the p-t-p address is 192.168.100.101;
Sat Aug 18 15:45:38 2018 daemon.notice pppd[21227]: local IP address 10.20.0.8 Sat Aug 18 15:45:38 2018 daemon.notice pppd[21227]: remote IP address 192.168.100.101
Here's the resulting ifconfig:
3g-gwan Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
inet addr:10.20.0.8 P-t-P:192.168.100.101 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:3 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:3 RX bytes:54 (54.0 B) TX bytes:76 (76.0 B)
This is not really a problem but I thought it was weird so I looked for this IP (192.168.100.101) in the source code but it was nowhere to be found. I'm a bit rusty on ppp, but should it not be the address configured in the ggsn's ip config?
I thought maybe it was coming from the local pppd stack, so I booted an old windows 7 machine and connnected the GSM modem, and it got the same p-t-p address of 192.168.100.101
thnx/
