Hello ASG220 v7.509. Situation: A remote router dials in (using it's PPTP client) into our ASG, which is configured to give a static address 10.216.66.222 (PPTP pool) to the client. In order to reach a network at the remote location, I add a static gateway route in WebAdmin > Network > Static Routing: Destination 192.168.10.0/24, Gateway 10.216.66.222 When connecting by shell, and issueing "route", the route and the pppN interface are shown in the routing table. This setup works as long as the PPTP connection is up. Problem is when the connection drops and then reconnects: The static route is gone from the shell routing table. The route still shows "green" in WebAdmin". Deactivating and reactivating the route in WebAdmin puts the route back into the routing table, everything ok. Obviously the static route gets deleted (along with the pppX interface) when the PPTP connection drops. Question: is it somehow possible to either make the static route persistent in the routing table, even if the pppN interface disappears? or automatically add a static route to the routing table every time the PPTP client dials in? Any suggestions appreciated! Werner

PPTP and static route

Hello

ASG220 v7.509. Situation:

A remote router dials in (using it's PPTP client) into our ASG, which is configured to give a static address 10.216.66.222 (PPTP pool) to the client.
In order to reach a network at the remote location, I add a static gateway route in WebAdmin > Network > Static Routing: Destination 192.168.10.0/24, Gateway 10.216.66.222
When connecting by shell, and issueing "route", the route and the pppN interface are shown in the routing table.

This setup works as long as the PPTP connection is up.

Problem is when the connection drops and then reconnects:

The static route is gone from the shell routing table.
The route still shows "green" in WebAdmin".
Deactivating and reactivating the route in WebAdmin puts the route back into the routing table, everything ok.

Obviously the static route gets deleted (along with the pppX interface) when the PPTP connection drops.

Question: is it somehow possible to

either make the static route persistent in the routing table, even if the pppN interface disappears?
or automatically add a static route to the routing table every time the PPTP client dials in?

Any suggestions appreciated!
