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/
