Well, I don't think its the cisco's problem. I think there is something wrong with my linux routing config , here it is: /proc/sys/net/ipv4 icmp_echo_ignore_all:0 icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts:0 icmp_ignore_bogus_error_responses:0 icmp_ratelimit:100 icmp_ratemask:6168 igmp_max_memberships:20 inet_peer_gc_maxtime:120 inet_peer_gc_mintime:10 inet_peer_maxttl:600 inet_peer_minttl:120 inet_peer_threshold:65664 ip_autoconfig:0 ip_conntrack_max:32656 ip_default_ttl:64 ip_dynaddr:0 ip_forward:1 ipfrag_high_thresh:262144 ipfrag_low_thresh:196608 ipfrag_time:30 ip_local_port_range:32768 61000 ip_nonlocal_bind:0 ip_no_pmtu_disc:0 tcp_abort_on_overflow:0 tcp_adv_win_scale:2 tcp_app_win:31 tcp_dsack:1 tcp_ecn:0 tcp_fack:1 tcp_fin_timeout:60 tcp_frto:0 tcp_keepalive_intvl:75 tcp_keepalive_probes:9 tcp_keepalive_time:7200 tcp_max_orphans:16384 tcp_max_syn_backlog:1024 tcp_max_tw_buckets:180000 tcp_mem:97280 97792 98304 tcp_orphan_retries:0 tcp_reordering:3 tcp_retrans_collapse:1 tcp_retries1:3 tcp_retries2:15 tcp_rfc1337:0 tcp_rmem:4096 87380 174760 tcp_sack:1 tcp_stdurg:0 tcp_synack_retries:5 tcp_syncookies:0 tcp_syn_retries:5 tcp_timestamps:1 tcp_tw_recycle:0 tcp_tw_reuse:0 tcp_window_scaling:1 tcp_wmem:4096 16384 131072 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/ethX accept_redirects:1 accept_source_route:1 arp_filter:0 bootp_relay:0 forwarding:1 log_martians:0 mc_forwarding:0 medium_id:0 proxy_arp:0 rp_filter:1 secure_redirects:1 send_redirects:1 shared_media:1 tag:0 -----Original Message----- From: Ani <an2rhyme@xxxxxxxxx> To: gaston <gaston@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 6 Sep 2003 03:07:14 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Re: Routing problem > if u r able to reach from ur client machine to cisco router ( but not > outside ) then its the cisco configuration u need to check... send the > cisco config and we can get back to u. > > gaston <gaston@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Internet > | > | > ________|________ > | | > | Cisco 2600 | | | > IP: 208.53.98.254 > |_______________| > | > | > | > | > | > | > ________|_________ > | | > | Switch 1 | > |_______________| > > | > | > | > | > | > ETH0 ---> IP:208.53.98.198 Net 208.53.98.0/25 > ________|________ > | | > | Linux | > |_______________| > | > ETH1 --> IP:208.53.164.254 Net 208.53.164.0/24 > | > | > ________|_________ > | | > | Switch 2 | ------ Clients > > |_______________| > > Red Hat Linux 9 > Kernel: 2.4.20-8 > I used the traditional routing config (without iproute2) > > > Routing table: > > 208.53.98.128 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.128 U 0 eth0 > 208.53.164.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 eth1 > 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 eth1 > 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 lo > 0.0.0.0 208.53.98.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 eth0 > > > Cisco 2600 config: > > ip route 208.53.164.0 255.255.255.0 208.53.98.198 > > > Problem: > > This configuration didn't work.
