NGX R65 and PPPoE Issue and Resolution

[wgrixti]

Hi All,

I had posted this on the CheckPoint forums but figured I should post here since it is such a great CheckPoint resource.

I recently upgraded to NGX R65 and had heaps of issues getting my PPPoE connections working. The issue relates to the PPPoE connection being assigned a metric variable that cannot be recognised.


Here is the solution if you are in the same boat.

To resolve the problem, perform the following changes in the /bin/ppp-connect script:


Comment out the following entry in the 'Set reasonable defaults' section:

if [ -z $METRIC ]; then METRIC=0; fi

Delete the "metric $METRIC" entry in the 'Standard PPP options we always use' section.

I then did a cpstop and cpstart.
