Hi Team,
I want to test ethernet driver for NIC, I have only one PC with two different NICs(for both drivers are different), So I disabled loopback and connected both the NICs using cross cable. Output of "ifconfig" is displaying both the interfaces and ip address is also set for both the interfaces.
I executed following to set ip address :
#ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
#ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.5 netmask 255.255.255.0
#ifconfig lo down
After that I tried to execute following commands,
#route add -net 192.168.0.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.0.5 dev eth0
#route add -net 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.0.1 dev eth1
but those comands are giving error like :
" route: netmask doesn't match route address"
I also put "1" in ip_forward file.
I am not able to ping anyone of those interfaces using ping command.
Can anyone give some inputs on this?
Thanks,
Bhavesh.
use netmask as 255.255.255.254 at both place.
