help with dialup of modembank
list Francesco Duranti
I've some problems with the dialup directive for modembank...
I'm using the 4.2 RC and I've tried many times changing the configuration but it seems I cannot get them to work.
If I've understood well the man page of bb-hosts I've to put the dialup alone in a group or page so i created 2 pages each one with a modem bank:
page Palmari Palmari mares
dialup Mares 10.201.140.1 247
page Radius Radius Server
dialup Radius 10.201.140.249 3
The result is that in the bbgen page i get this error and no output is generated in the 2 pages of modem banks
Error output:
Confused - hostname 'Mares' cannot be found. Ignored
Confused - hostname 'Radius' cannot be found. Ignored
if i put the dialup after ip/hostname :
page Palmari Palmari mares
10.201.140.1 Mares # dialup Mares 10.201.140.1 247
page Radius Radius Server palmari
10.201.140.249 Radius # dialup Radius 10.201.140.249 3
I get this error in bbgen webpage and the houput on only a single connection column in the pages
Error output:
Modembank status log dialup.Mares has more entries (246) than expected (0)
Modembank status log dialup.Radius has more entries (2) than expected (0)
If I put in the bb-hosts
page Palmari Palmari mares
dialup Mares 10.201.140.1 247
10.201.140.1 Mares # noconn
page Radius Radius Server palmari
dialup Radius 10.201.140.249 3
10.201.140.249 Radius # noconn
I get those errors in the bbgen webpage but on the 2 pages i get report of the modembanks but i also get 2 times the name of the host, the first with the connection tests and the second with nothing
Error output:
Modembank Mares has additional status-logs - ignored

Modembank Radius has additional status-logs - ignored

WARNING: Modembank displays should be in their own group or page.
Mixing normal hosts with modembanks yield strange output.

Francesco, could you please use plain-text when sending mails to the list? HTML mail means much more work for me. Thanks.

Hmm - maybe you did, and something else converts it. Must be your setup.

I'm not surprised. It's been ages since I last tested it - I've never used it myself - and I am pretty sure I've broken it with some of the changes that have gone into Hobbit over the past year. Unless there's a huge outcry of "I really need it!", I don't think I can be bothered to fix it; I'll just remove it instead. And if you do need it, I will probably implement it as a plain network test associated with a normal host (like the "http" tests where you can have multiple HTTP requests) instead of making these IP-pool-checks something special. In a later release, of course. Regards, Henrik
