Failover script for Connection back up
Hi this is a script for backing up the internet connection on a debian server...still buggy and testing it and not finished but someone might use it..
If you want to contact me you can do so on my blog The VPN Guru - http://thevpn.guru
Assumptions:
1-pppoe always on connection "should be used as long as up"
2-cable limited backup connection
3-pppoe can not ping external IPs "ISP settings :S" so to test the connection either download a small file or resolve a hostname
4-If pppoe fails 3 times in a row switch to cable...when pppoe up again switch to it
5-pppoe and cable have different firewall setups ....these setups are stored in different firewall scripts which are executed depending on the active connection...
#!/bin/bash
wise="eth2" # wisebox connectedhere
rabbit="true" #assume rabbit is a up as a start condition
count=0 #initialise count to 0
#since the wise box connection is obsolete stop all traffic on it
iptables -I INPUT -i $wise -j DROP
iptables -I FORWARD -i $wise -j DROP
#iptables -I OUTPUT -i $wise -j DROP
#create a while loop to test for rabbit overall conditions
