I have been googling this issue today and I am finding that I don't quite know enough about what I am doing, and that the terms I am searching for are not returning the results I want.
I have need of using OpenBSD as a router temporarily. I have four interfaces. bge0 - my primary interface that will be facing my ISP's border router bge1: +vlan1 - Segment for my subnet1 +vlan2 - Segment for my subnet2 +vlan3 - Segment for my subnet3 So I really only want routing functionality so I thought it was safe to do the following: - Set net.inet.ip.fordwarding=1 - Disabled PF This leaves me in a state where I can ping hosts in vlan1 from the network on bge0. But that's about it. I kinda don't know the right questions to ask here. Googling for routing leads to mostly sites dealing with adding static routes in OpenBSD. So from some of the reading on Faq6, I assumed that enabling forwarding would leave me with a system whereby packets entering any of the interfaces would be routed back out the correct interface for the subnet, or off onto the default gateway if no local subnet exists. But that assumption seems to be failing me. The faq also mentioned OpenBGPD and routed, but there doesn't appear to be any man page for routed and because my ISP is statically routing my subnets to me, apparently (according to them) I have no need of BGP. Could anyone offer any insight or advice on what I am doing wrong? Thanks! Geoff Sweet
