IP forwarding

[gany59]

how to check if IP forwarding is enabled or not ? if not how to set /enable it ?

[Tim Nelson]

man ndd

then

ndd -h

then

ndd -get /dev/tcp ip_forwarding

[rick jones]

To make ndd settings "permanent" (ie be applied after a reboot) you will want to edit the file /etc/rc.config.d/nddconf .

Hi ,

This is done with the help of ndd.
You can check that using

#ndd -get

the parameters are
ip_forward_src_routed - Controls forwarding of source routed packets
ip_forwarding - Controls how IP hosts forward packets
ip6_forwarding - Controls how IPv6 hosts forward packets

ndd -h ip_forwarding

ip_forwarding:

Controls how IP hosts forward packets: Set to 0 to inhibit
forwarding; set to 1 to always forward; set to 2 to forward
only if the number of logical interfaces on the system is 2
or more. [0,2] Default: 2

so to disable:
ndd -set /dev/ip ip_forwarding 0

else in /etc/rc.config.d/nddconf for next reboot.
