Hi, I have the following setup:
(eth1) x.y.z.10 x.y.z.20
Linux-----------------------------------------Host
The Linux PC and the host are having the above mentioned IP addresses. Now,
I wanted to do proxy arp for the IP address x.y.z.15.
I added a proxy ARP entry on Linux with the following command :
arp -i eth1 -Ds x.y.z.15 eth1 netmask 255.255.255.255 pub
If I try to view the ARP entries, (with the cmd arp) I am seeing a "*" under
the HWtype and HWaddress fields. Also, the flags are saying "MP: and "C"
(for complete) is missing. Basically, this means to say that the MAC is not
being resolved for x.y.z.15.
I also tried the command
arp -i eth1 -s x.y.z.15 <mac addr> pub
with the same observation as given above.
I also pinged from x.y.z.20 host to x.y.z.15 and the ARP response was NOT
generated by Linux.
I have set 1 to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth1/proxy_arp
Is there anything I am missing in this ? Can anyone help me out wrt this ?
Thanks in advance.
