Re: RE: [ixp1200] l3fwdr

Hi, Can you please email me the patch?Vikram and I work in the same lab, and were facing the same problem. Thanks, Bassem ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yong Liu" To: Sent: Friday, May 02, 2003 2:32 PM Subject: Re: RE: [ixp1200] l3fwdr

Hi,

Now the L3forward and the count example is working on enp-2505.

I use only 100Mbps switch/hub and 100Mbps ethernet card, i.e. no 10Mbps. And I find it is not enough. Schuetze, Joel D has sent a patch to me. After I apply the patch the examples work fine.

Do you have the patch? It includes board.h, config_1.cpp, and Steps.doc, three files. The Steps.doc gives detailed instructions.

If you want I can mail it to you.

Let me get out of this mailing list. Does anyone tell the method?

I got the mac addresses form enp> test macadd show....it displayed all 4 macs addresses.. in the ixsys*.config file i added these macadd to the ports 0, 1, 2, 3... ( i havent modified the route* file, like some had suggested to at the GW, show I? ) ... did ./ixstart ixsys*.config.... ifconfig .. for the l3 sample displays all 4 interfaces for the count sample displays none of th interfaces ?

in both cases when i try pinging the port from another machine directly connected by a crossover, it says network unreachable... any ideas??

when i did a tcpdump on the external machine it hung and now refuses to reboot?

can i connect the port to a LAN through a straight cable and be able to notice activity??

thanx, vikram

how do i prog the PHY device so that its 10MB mode is not default. How

...

knowif the device is 10 or 100?

Kamesh,

I'm not sure if this applies to the ENP-2305, but it did affect the IXP1200EB.

Some PHY devices default 10MB mode is also loop-back mode, so on a 10MB connection, as soon as a packet is sent by the IXP1200 it gets looped back to the IXP1200, and so the process goes on, the result is a packet flood. The fix was either to connect to a 100MB device so the PHY would auto-negotiate to 100MB, or to program the PHY so that in 10MB mode it wasn't set to loopback.

Hi, Ping was not running. In fact the PC kind of hangs ie mouse pointer disappears etc when I connnect. I am able to see the output only after I disconnect. Configuration: Ethernet port 1 of ENP-2505 is connected back-to-back to the eth1 of the host PC ( PC in which the card is plugged in) through a crossover cable. The IP address of the IXP port is 192.168.1.150 and the IP address of the PC port is 192.168.1.3 .

Also is there any option is the ixsys.config file through which I can specify the rate ? Thanks, Kamesh.

Hi Kameswara,

I guess you have already tried to connect the PC port to the IXP port without going thro' the hub as Cyrus suggested. Just to rule out any autonegotiation problems betweem 10/100 hub and IXP port.

So is ping running when you captured that tcpdump output? Also, what are the interface addresses of the IXP port and the PC port in your setup?

Hi, This is what I observe if I do a tcpdump.
