| MPD configuration instructions for mlppp
I recently got mlppp up and running with MPD with some help from mersault so I figured I would document the procedure for anyone else who wanted to know how.
First off, as of march 29th 2008 this will not work with the ports or other release version of mpd, you need to do a build from cvs which will be outlined below.
How to build MPD5 from CVS
1. log into your bsd box via ssh or open a terminal
2. make a new directory ~/mpd-cvs hit return when it asks you for a password; then run
4. switch to the src directory
5. configure, make, make install
congrats; if you didn't get any errors you now have the cvs version of mpd installed on your box you can confirm this with:
The Configuration
The default location for mpd5 configuration data on bsd is /usr/local/etc/mpd5/
if this folder doesn't exist create it
for mpd and mlppp it only needs one config file which is mpd.conf, the following is a sample which is almost exactly what I use
you'll need to change vr0 and rl0 to the interfaces on your box that are attached to the modems, and input your own username and password for the pppoe authentication
I've always found mpd configs to be so much cleaner :p
Testing
to ensure that everything works just punch up
once you know it works it can be run in the background as a daemon with
Enjoy your bonded connection
if anyone has any ideas about how to make this clearer or generally better; let me know |
