Hi,
I'm having an issue with using the ping command. I have 2 hosts on seperate subnets that need to be able to talk to each other. I can ping one host from the other but not the other way round. Both boxes have routes to the other and I can traceroute from each host to the other. Any ideas on why the ping doesn't return from one of the hosts?
Thanks
Check the /etc/inet/hosts file if each other hostnames and ips are in there
Both hosts files are correct, although I've managed to find a temporary solution by removing the static routes to each other although this may cause issues at a later date.
how about the relevant entries in the /etc/netmasks file?
Are both hosts able to ping their gateway? netstat -rn should display the default route. check these
are you blocking icmp requests at the router?
Hi!
Do you have static-routes in your routers? Or are you using a routing protocol? Do you have ACL in your routers?
Are you able to ping the default gateway from each server?
