Hi, I created a VLAN with vlan-id vlan10 using the utitlity vconfig which uses the module 802.1q. This vlan was configured as 172.19.0.1<http://172.19.0.1>with subnet mask 255.255.0.0 <http://255.255.0.0> . This vlan was implemented over eth0. Now i have a laptop which i connected to eth0 via a hub. This laptop was configured as : ifconfig eth0 172.19.0.4 <http://172.19.0.4> netmask 255.255.0.0<http://255.255.0.0>up route add 172.19.0.4 <http://172.19.0.4> 172.19.0.1 <http://172.19.0.1> with the objective of making my vlan10 as the gateway of this machine. Now this laptop is unable to ping the supposed gateway 172.19.0.1<http://172.19.0.1>and vice-versa. Pls help, thanks, Manish -- Manish Jain IIIT Hyderabad -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
