Forwarding between 2 instances of iou2net. #1

Open sanbikinosaru opened 8 years ago

I'm trying to connect 2 external hosts to an IOU to emulate switching (2 hosts to 2 L2 IP Base IOUs). External hosts can ping the IOUs and vice versa. But external hosts cannot ping each other. IOU switches shows both external hosts mac addresses. Could this be an issue with iou2net?

editted;

Tested working on ioulive86.

@sanbikinosaru: It's been a really long time since I've used iou2net so I can't be certain, but I seem to recall some weirdness with the layer two headers on frames that were generated. It very likely is an issue with iou2net. I'd probably start by running a simultaneous capture on the two external hosts and compare the frame sent by host1 to the frame received by host2 (e.g., when pinging from host1 to host2).
