Our linux machines handles Multiple linux machines, none of which are acting as a gateway between the two said subnets?

Obviously the machines on the 2nd subnet are unable to receive the packets. It'll also send multicast over any available interfaces, but the ttl is set to 1, so the only device that would receive that packet would be the device on the far end of that interface. > > / Stefan > > PS.
