The backup of my lan connection to the ISP is a dial up. Is there a way to configure a dial up in Astaro? If no what would be the alternative to do so?
That is good and working. Do you know what means in term of second the word periodicaly in the extract of the Astaro help? "The Uplink Failover check IP is periodically queried with PING packets to see if it is still reachable". Just would like to know in sec.
Otherwise, where do u read the result of the :: Monitor Interface Usage :: feature ??
In V5 it is possible to configure a serial interface for using a serial modem.
Or just use an external ISDN router or something like that. This can be connected by using a normal ethernet link and a small transfer network. Most routers support dial up on demand.
Good, I have v 5.100. So the interface is ok and manually starts.
Then I have delared eth1 as primary and "com1" as backup interface. Now when I simulate the primary to be down, Astaro sees it and even says in Admin log that it switches to backup interface but somehow does to mount the serial interface. I have put a small init string too just to try (&DT&L3) and then the phone number to call under number string... but Astaro seems unable to bring up the interface as the action to use backup interface does not seem to work?
Any hint? What confuse me is that the interface perfectly comes up when manually requested to do so!
