hello, i have this network:
vid=1 vid=1
--[router1]-------[AP
(bridge-mode)]-------------[switch]----------[router2]------[hostX]
ip configuration:
router1: 10.168.3.16/24 (broadcast: 10.168.3.255) VID=1
router2: 10.168.3.26/24 (broadcast: 10.168.3.255) VID=1
router3 (not shown): 10.168.3.1/24 (broadcast 10.168.3.255) VID=1
default route for router 1&2 points to router3.
problem:
from router1, i can ping router2 without problem.
from router2, i can only ping router1 _as_long_as router1 ping router2 first.
i noticed thaty when i tried connecting to router1 from router2,
router2s arp cache has <INCOMPLETE> wntry for ip 10.168.3.16
(router1). so it failed. if i connect to router2 from router1, both
arp cache shows ip/mac combo from both routers.
i double checked my vlan config, APs, and ip settings (especially
broadcast). but i cant still figure out what;s really the problem. is
it possible the AP is blocking broadcast traffic?
ive also tried playing w/ systcl but no luck.
my temoporary solution is to hardcode mac/ip of router1 to router2's
/etc/ethers and load it via arp -f. that successfuly connect me (from
router2) to router1 without issues.
any ideas?
thanks.
