hi, what sort of linux/unix battles are you having? the debug tools are similar to the cisco ones you are used to - ping, traceroute, arp, etc
with configuration, ipconfig is the tool to check your interfaces, 'tcpdump' can be used to sniff traffic..eg tcpdump -eqnntl -i eth0 host 128.64.5.4 however, many distros use different locations for their neworking config - eg, some use /etc/sysconfig/net*, others have eg /etc/networking/* files etc. are you using subinterfaces, 802.1q trunks etc? ifconfig etc operate with such environments. the other thing to be aware of is, of course, host based firewalls. iptables -L -n will show any in operation. finally, security tools such as 'selinux' may block networking operations..and certainly interdaemon comms if they havent been allowed. debug this be becoming permissive and then check the logs. there are many tools in the selinux toolset to check what and why things are failing, alan _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
