ip-up does not trigger when using built-in cisco vpn on mac osx lion
- by Yasser Sobhdel
I am using Cisco VPN client over lion and I want to make the ip-up and ip-down work. There is no sign of any action taken when I connect or disconnect this VPN connection. I really doubt whether the syntax has been changed or even this kind if connection is triggering the ip-up. Logically, it must be set over ppp but when using the following codes and instructions on them, there is no sign of any output in the log file:

Going for error, which there is no sign of it, using the following page:

I couldn't find the /var/log/ppp/vpnd.log log file.
Also the files are given full permission 0755 or a+x or even 777 using the following command:
sudo chmod a+x /etc/ppp/ip-up
Any clue on how to debug this would be appreciated. I am totally confused, netstat -rn -f inet doesn't show the routes. Even when the routes are added manually, closing the VPN connection does not run the ip-down and the routes must be deleted manually.
