If you know the mac of the other router, do domething like: #ip ro add 172.20.20.20/32 dev eth1 scope link #arp -s 172.20.20.20 <mac> #ip ro add 192.168.1.0/24 via 172.20.20.20.20 So .. this just show why you can't just route throught an ethernet device, unless you "want" to do some multicast flood.
