Hello,

Network question:

I have a computer with two network devices: eth0, eth1

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet
  HWaddr 00:02:B3:50:88:D3 inet addr:5.5.5.98 Bcast:5.5.5.255
  inet addr:5.5.5.98  Bcast:5.5.5.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
  Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
  
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:02:B3:50:88:D4 inet addr:192.168.1.12
  Bcast:192.168.1.63 Mask:255.255.255.192 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST
  MTU:1500 Metric:1


  cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward                                            
  0                                                                            

  route:                                                                       
    192.168.1.17 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth1
    192.168.1.16 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth1
    192.168.1.19 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth1
    5.5.5.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
    127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
    default 5.5.5.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0

   gateway 5.5.5.1 (Cisco router)
   there is a computer in 5.5.5.0

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:D0:B7:72:EC:0B  
  inet addr:5.5.5.138  Bcast:5.5.5.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
  UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
                                
route:
  5.5.5.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
  loopback localhost 255.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 lo
  default 5.5.5.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0

Question: Why pinging 192.168.1.12 from 5.5.5.138 is Ok ?

tcpdump of .12
sudo /usr/sbin/tcpdump -f -i eth0 icmp
tcpdump: listening on eth0
12:41:12.351814 5.5.5.138 > 192.168.1.12: icmp: echo request
12:41:12.351847 192.168.1.12 > 5.5.5.138: icmp: echo reply

Is it right to allow any ip on computer over any device ?

Thanks.
