Hello,
I've inherited some code that creates Network Interfaces for modems,
and I need some assistance understanding some of the top levels stuff,
plus some pointers. Any help is appreciated.
Currently the existing code I inherited calls a command line app
through authentication services. From there it then matches the
interface based on some search elements. As I understand it's
searching the dynamic store for the interfaces through a set of keys,
is this correct?
Can anyone succinctly give me a top level explanation of the dynamic
store?
Ok, once it's got the matching interface it easily sets up the PPP
connection and connects / disconnects no problem. Now, here comes the
inevitable point I want to change. Currently the interface matching
uses a very strict set of conditions, basically a very specific
Interface with APN, username / password, etc... Our modems can store a
number of connection profiles and I'd like to not have to create a new
interface for each profile.
Is there a way to create a more general interface and re-populate the
profile specific information?
I realize that doing this also requires authentication (as it
currently does so), does any change require authentication (I'm pretty
sure it does)?
Anyways, any help is appreciated in this regard.
Cheers!
~Rob
