Reference Design

Hi Petcharat,
 
  We are trying to run pfwd8_1f_rx16_tx6 on the new board - B0. Our
understanding is that the default route table here is that 1.1.1.1 goes to
port 1, 2.2.2.2 to port 2 and so on. We have two end points with IP
addresses 1.1.1.1(machine A)  and 2.2.2.2(m/c B) connected to port 1 and 2
respectively on the board.

Here is step by step what we are doing. 

1. On the board, download VxWorks Image from 
 
   ixp1200/boardsupport/bin/vb/vxworks

2. Start Tornado and get the command shell

3. Run Netapp (as specified in the manual)

4. Open developer workbench with  pfwd8_1f_rx16_tx6 and start running the
ref design in hardware.

5. On m/c A, do telnet 2.2.2.2 

The Rx led blinks for port 1 on receiving, however, nothing gets
transmitted on port 2.

I was wondering if you did the similar thing. Any help is greatly
appreciated.

thanks,
Taroon
