Hello All,
My board has a eth0 and wireless interfaces. I manually executed the
following commands to configured my network interfaces:
1. ifconfig eth0 192.168.3.139 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
2. ifconfig wlan0:1 inet 169.254.6.199 netmask 255.255.0.0 broadcast
169.254.255.255 up
My Routing table:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
192.168.3.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 ra0
My other machine is in 192.168.3.x subnet and I am able to ping the
192.168.3.139. But, the problem is I can ping the 169.254.6.199 too.
Is there any special on 169.254 because by using the said subnet it seems
the two interfaces has a cross over routing?.
Any idea how to resolve the issue?.
Thanks,
john
