[LARTC] Forcing a pppX name

[LARTC] Forcing a pppX name

[jurrie.overgoor]

Hello everyone,

Is it possible to 'force a name to' a ppp connection? I have a VPN server, 
wich creates ppp connections, and two ADSL ppp connections. I'd like to 
have the ADSL connections be called ppp0 and ppp1, and the VPN connections 
ppp2 and higher.

At the moment, I can only achieve this if I connect to the ADSL lines 
before starting the VPN server. However, it will screw up if the second 
ADSL connection drops, and after that a new VPN connection is made. The new 
VPN connection will be called ppp1...

In such cases, when i must set qdiscs on dynamic ppp or tun itnerfaces, i use
the ip-up script - since this script receives the remote ip address and the
name of device used for the link (and more parameters of course - read man
pppd), you can use it to set qdiscs (or do some other cool stuff) on specific
connection even if the device number is dynamic.

I know, I already use the ip-up scripts. I don't need this just to 
configure a link at startup or shutdown. I want my interfaces to be the 
same all the time, so I only have to remember: "ppp0 is provider X, ppp1 is 
provider Y, the rest is VPN"...
