Hi everybody, I have 3 routers (Linux boxes with Red Hat 8.0 server), with iproute2 and ip_forward activated; they are linked together in this way: AP1------Router1---------Router2----------Router3---------AP2 AP1 and AP2 are WLAN 802.11b Cisco Aironet 350 access points. I can''t ping AP2 from Router1 and Router2 and AP1 from Router3 and Router2. Changing one of the AP with a laptop connected to Router (1 or 3) results in no effects. The routing tables seem correct. Router1 and Router3 can ping each other, so Router2 seems to make right routing. The dotted lines above are 4 different subnets. Any suggestion would be of great help!

So as Router2 seems to be forwarding packets, and it has router to directly connected networks (shared with Router1 and Router3) the communication between Router1 and Router3 works. My guess is a wrong configuration of routing tables. Maybe you could try traceroute to see if packets reach the other end, or they get lost at some point. It wouldn''t be unusual for the packets to reach the destination, but be unable to return to the source, so check the routing tables and follow the path the packets would travel.

Mauro, Unless both Aironets have routes to each other (either default or static) they cannot communicate, and AFAIK, the Aironets are layer-2 devices with no routing capabilities. Wireless hosts behind AP1 should be able to communicate with wireless hosts behind AP2 though. Just make sure hosts at both ends have appropriate routes to each other. -----Original Message----- From: lartc-admin@mailman.ds9a.nl [mailto:lartc-admin@mailman.ds9a.nl] On Behalf Of Mauro Cerboni Sent: Wednesday, November 20, 2002 7:32 pm To: lartc@mailman.ds9a.nl Subject: [LARTC] Routing problem Hi everybody, I have 3 routers (Linux boxes with Red Hat 8.0 server), with iproute2 and ip_forward activated; they are linked together in this way: AP1------Router1---------Router2----------Router3---------AP2 AP1 and AP2 are WLAN 802.11b Cisco Aironet 350 access points.

hello, (sorry for my bad english) 1,5 Mbit 2 Mbit www www | | +---------------------------+ | LINUX Box |----- DMZ +---------------------------+ | LAN most of clients in the lan are connectet to the 1,5 Mbit connection and some are connectet to the 2 Mbit connection the linux box has 4 network adapters problem the clients which are routet to the 2 Mbit couldn''t acces the dmz u will be able to connect the dmz from all other routes. routes are following defined. default --> 1,5 Mbit table fast default -> 2mbit clientXX lookup table fast dmz-Network lookup table fast where I''ve done a mistake I''ve tried to solve it with fw-mark but there is also the same problem thanks for help with friendly regards Andre _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
