LARTC - Apr 2001 - Multiple IP adresses on one interface and ping

Hello,
I assign IP 172.25.0.1 and 172.25.1.1 on one interface of my router. This
interface is connected to local LAN switch. If I ping from my box on lan
with IP 172.25.0.22 I get icmp reply, but if I assig to my box IP
172.25.1.22 I don''t get icmp reply.

My setup:
ip addr add 172.25.0.1/24 brd + dev eth0
ip addr add 172.25.1.1/24 brd + dev eth0

kernel 2.4.3, iproute2-current, iptables-1.2.1a

Why second adress don''t respond for ping ?

This should work if at least one of the two following conditions are 
fulfilled:

1. You have a default route from your box to your router''s primary 
address (172.25.0.1). The icmp packets will then be sent to the router,
because your box uses the default route.
2. You also have a 2nd address on your box, let''s say 172.25.1.22. Your
box will then think that 128.25.1.1 is directly connected to your LAN, 
and it will issue an ARP request for 172.25.1.1. Unless your router 
decides not to answer to this request, your "box" will recieve an ARP 
reply and after that it knows which MAC address it has to send the icmp 
request.

You can also use tcpdump to find out what is really sent and received 
over the link. It is either your box not really sending the icmp 
requests or your router not sending icmp replies.

Guy
