Hi,

To get the current value of the tunable parameter of ip_forwarding

# ndd -get /dev/ip ip_forwarding

Hi Ragesh,

Run the below command to verify weather IP forwarding is enabled or not?

# ndd -get /dev/ip ip_forwarding

If forwarding is enabled, then output wiil be "2".

If not, then execute the below command:
#ndd -set /dev/ip ip_forwarding 2

For making this change permanant edit /etc/rc.config.d/nddconf file and add the following lines

TRANSPORT_NAME[X]=ip
NDD_NAME[X]=ip_forwarding
NDD_VALUE[X]=2
