Not able to ping

[mjos]

Thank you all for your replies.


I did as Matti suggested & was able to ping to the SMTP server.
But the route gateway specified in the netconf file is still not pinging


# ndd -get /dev/ip ip_ire_gw_probe
1

# ndd -set /dev/ip ip_ire_gw_probe 0
#

# route delete default 10.48.84.1 1
delete net default: gateway 10.48.84.1
#
# route add default 10.48.84.1 1
add net default: gateway 10.48.84.1

After this I was able to successfully ping to the SMTP server & send test mails from the unix server
# ping 10.74.100.90
PING 10.74.100.90: 64 byte packets
64 bytes from 10.74.100.90: icmp_seq=0. time=1. ms

----10.74.100.90 PING Statistics----
1 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip (ms) min/avg/max = 1/1/1

But I am still not able to ping to the route gateway - 10.48.84.1

# ping 10.48.84.1
PING 10.48.84.1: 64 byte packets

----10.48.84.1 PING Statistics----
1 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss


I added the below lines in /etc/rc.config.d/nddconf. Do I have change the ip with the IP address?

TRANSPORT_NAME[0]=/dev/ip
NDD_NAME[0]=ip_ire_gw_probe
NDD_VALUE[0]=0


Torsten & Raj -
There are bastille & sec00 installed on the server. But how do i check their services are running or not?

# swlist |grep -i bastille
HPUXBastille B.3.0.23 Bastille Security Hardening Tool
You have mail in /var/mail/root
# swlist -l bundle | grep Sec0
Sec00Tools B.01.04.07 Install-Time security infrastructure.

Are you in a DMZ? This may be normal.

[mjos]

How do I check that - DMZ settings?

You need check with your "Network Team"

Maybe it's not supposed to. Ask your network administrator.
