: What if I have the following topology:
: ----- ----- -----
: | A | | B | | C |
: -+--- --+-- --+--
: | | |
: -----+------------+---------------------+-------+------
: |
: --+--
: | D |
: --+--
: |
: ------------------+-------------------------------------
: A, B (def. gw), C being routers, and D being a Linux router and terminal server.
: Assuming thta A,B,C and D don't run a routing protocol, doesn't D need both
: IP_forwarding and ICMP redirects processing for optimal use ?
If you really want to force your router to believe redirects,
set up gated. It will listen redirects, and add them to routing table.
But really: router MUST-MUST-MUST run routing protocol!
