Category Listing: | How do I dial/disconnect a PPP connection with a text-mode command? |
I have defined a ppp0 interface by using "netcfg" or editing /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 How do I dial and disconnect a PPP connection using a text-mode command?
Using Red Hat 5.0 issuing
- /sbin/ifup ppp0
or
- /sbin/ifdown ppp0
will dial resp. disconnect the ppp0 interface.
In order to allow regular non-root users to control the interface, the option "Allow any user to (de)activate interface" must be checked/enabled in the configuration.
(none)
