Hi all,
first post for me here...
I tried to search on the topics but didn't find anything to solve my problem.
I have an x86 used as PPPoE concentrator and would like to install another server to use as backup. I tried to use VRRP for the failover and the two machines switch properly when the master goes down.
Unfortunately i have an issue with pppoe-client sessions active on the master server. When the Master goes down the pppoe sessions don't deactivate on the client machines (RB750s). The PPPOE sessions remain idle (but active) on the clients and they switch on the backup PPPOE server only with manual intervention.
Dial-on-demand could solve part of the problem, but in some cases i'm forced to disable it...and the sessions "get stuck" on the master server even if it's no more available.
Is there a way to avoid this behaviour?...i need to let the pppoe sessions "know" that the master server went down and switch on the backup one.
Thanks in advance
Max
