[ixp1200] l3fwdr

[Kameswara Avasarala]

Hi,
      I invoked ixstart with ixsys.config-sys-l3fwdr as the parameter. I 
could see that all the ace's and microaces are being loaded. The number 
of interfaces created was 1 since I commented out the extra entries in 
the config files, still I am unable to ping. However I see a lot of 
activity from the ethernet port. The  led on the hub to which the 
ENP-2505 ethernet port is connected is blinking away furiously.
Thanks,
Kamesh.
