How do I enable packet forwarding


On PowerMAX 4.2 or newer:

To enable packet forwarding on PowerMAX_OS systems running 4.2 or
newer do the following.

	# ndd -set /dev/ip ip_forwarding 1

This will automatically change this tunable.  To make sure packet
forwarding is always turned on add this ndd line to /etc/init.d/inetinit
after the Override comment.

	# cat /etc/init.d/inetinit
	...
		# Override TCP/IP stack defaults
		$NDD -set /dev/ip ip_forwarding 1 <---- added line
		$NDD -set /dev/tcp tcp_old_urp_interpretation 1
		$NDD -set /dev/ip ip_respond_to_timestamp 1
		$NDD -set /dev/ip ip_respond_to_timestamp_broadcast 1
	....


On PowerMAX 4.1 or older:

On PowerMAX_OS systems running 4.1 or older run the following command then
rebuild the kernel and reboot the system with the new kernel.

	#  /etc/conf/bin/idtune IPFORWARDING 1


For more information see idtune(1), ndd(1), "How do I rebuild the kernel" FAQ,
or the Network Administration manual.
