Problem:
This configuration didn't work. From the clients network (208.53.164.0) I
could only reach the Cisco router but was unable to reach Internet.
The only quick solution was to connect Switch 1 with Switch 2.
Any ideas why this didn't work?
did you have IP forwarding enabled and the appropriate iptables rules on the linux box ? for pure routing:
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
If you already done that, where does a traceroute from the clients' network (208.53.164.0) go ? does it try to go through 208.53.164.254?
does it go anywhere after ?
good luck.
