Hi Paul,
your PC2 probably expects to find it's subnet routing partner on the eth0
interface. Your TNOS (default router in this case) is hidden from the eth0
interface. I use proxy arp here for just that situation. I forget the
actual arp command at the moment, but do an arp for both your pc1 linux and
your tnos, using the eth0 hardware address for both linux and tnos. Be sure
you have proper routing in place, and it should find your tnos.
... ok, found my arp commands (using 2.0.36/libc so your command might
be a little different with the RH 6.1). Here's mine from rc.local:
/sbin/arp -s 44.46.97.3 00:40:95:E1:14:78 pub #linux
/sbin/arp -s 44.46.97.1 00:40:95:E1:14:78 pub #jnos
