Ping between two interfaces on one host

dugurlu — Fri, 10 Jul 2020 13:22:17 GMT

I'm trying to setup a test environment for a network equipment. I need to be able to ping between different interfaces on single host. Unfortunately I am not able to ping from one interface to another with current setup.

My Set-UP

| ETH1 | ----------------------------| |

| IMX | | ETH SWITCH |

| ETH2 |-----------------------------| |

eth1 -- 192.168.1.1

eth2 -- 192.168.1.2

I tried to ping from eth1 to eth2 using: ping -I eth1 192.168.1.2 and ping -I eth2 192.168.1.1

But it is not successful.

Thanks for your help

Hello Dogan Ugurlu,

You do not mention which processor you are using (this information may help us understand the situation a bit better), but I think the problem here is how the network is handled and not the hardware configuration. Here you are connecting two interfaces using the same subnet. It’s often a good rule of thumb not to connect multiple ethernet controllers in the same host to the same subnet.

I hope this helps.
