Hi all.
We are trying to setup a Sun box as a router, but not having any
success.
The box can ping and traceroute to both internal and external sites.
When we configure the client to use the box as the default gateway, the
client is unable to traceroute or ping. The strange thing is that the
"router" show the packets going through. We can see this from snooping.
We start up in.routed and in.rdisc and it discovers that reset of the
internal network. But the client is still unable to traceroute and ping.
We have checked that ndd /dev/tcp ip_forwarding is set to 1.
>From the netstat -nr output, we noticed that the routes with flags UG
indicating Up and Gateway, could not associate to a interface.Multiple
combinations of route add did not get the routes to associate.
We tried route add -net 146.141.15.0 146.141.15.9 -interface qfe0
route add -net 146.141.15.0 146.141.15.9 -iface qfe0
route add qfe0 146.141.15.0 146.141.15.9
The box is an Enterprise E450, hme and quad card.
