Greetings all
This one has me beat for the moment.
I have set up a remote router with 3 full duplex links. These links are
implemented as one transmit and 3 receive ports. Port 'A' has the TX and one
RX, port 'B' has an RX only and port 'C' is RX only as well. There is one
station associated with each port who all have full duplex capability.
The routing problem is that I can ping from the box to any of the 3 stations
associated with the 3 receives (I have arp entries set up OK) and I can ping
the router from any of the three stations OK - I can even ping 'C' from 'B'
via the router (and visa versa) but I can't ping 'B' or 'C' from station 'A'.
I have ip_forward enabled in the /proc system but I'm thinking there must be
another parameter that allows a route to go back out the port it came into -
which is what I want to happen for the scenario that fails.
Is there another parameter or does Linux strictly not allow routing back out
the same port. If this is the case I've got some serious rethinking to do :-((
The setup is:
stock RedHat 6.1
ax25-apps-0.0.4
ax25-tools-0.0.5
libax25-0.0.7
all ax25 stuff compiled as modules
