I'm getting pounded by ICMP redirects from my Nortel router. The setup is a SuSE 8.1 (2.4.19) standard client with fixed IP and netmask. The client is configured with a default route. However, there are several routers on the subnet that the default router knows about. Hence, the reason that the Nortel router emits ICMP redirects which my client steadfastly ignores. I've checked the relevant settings (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/*). I find in /proc/net/rt_cache that there are 2 entries, one of which is marked RTCF_REDIRECTED: Iface Destination Gateway Flags RefCnt Use Metric Source MTU Window IRTT TOS HHRef HHUptod SpecDst eth0 812810AC 01A8A6D8 0 3 5 0 21A8A6D8 1500 0 15 10 3 1 21A8A6D8 eth0 812810AC 35A8A6D8 40000 0 4 0 21A8A6D8 1500 0 0 00 2 0 21A8A6D8 How come this redirected route is not being used? This seems like a problem that ought to be common to anyone that has multiple routers on the same subnet. What am I missing? rtg - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
