[RP-PPPoE] is it wrong to have your ethernet int configured

[Paul Young]

Hi Guys,

Is it wrong to have a config like this:

config for ifcfg-em2 which is plugged into the ONT provided by my ISP

## Internet
DEVICE=em2
HWADDR=F8:BC:12:31:91:95
TYPE=Ethernet
UUID=052dda07-9add-4e3c-a68d-998970a0d047
ONBOOT=yes
NM_CONTROLLED=yes
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=<my fixed external IP>
NETMASK=255.255.255.252

and then the config for ifcfg-ppp0

USERCTL=yes
BOOTPROTO=dialup
NAME=DSLppp0
DEVICE=ppp0
TYPE=xDSL
ONBOOT=yes
PIDFILE=/var/run/pppoe-adsl.pid
FIREWALL=NONE
PING=.
PPPOE_TIMEOUT=80
LCP_FAILURE=5
LCP_INTERVAL=5
CLAMPMSS=1412
CONNECT_POLL=6
CONNECT_TIMEOUT=60
DEFROUTE=yes
SYNCHRONOUS=no
ETH=em2
PROVIDER=DSLppp0
USER=<user>@<myisp>
PEERDNS=no
DEMAND=no

As that is what I have now and I often get disconnects from heartbeat failures.

So when you do an ifconfig both em2 and ppp0 have the same internet facing IP
