I'm getting pounded by ICMP redirects from my Nortel router. The setup is a SuSE 8.1 (2.4.19) standard client with fixed IP and netmask. The client is configured with a default route. However, there are several routers on the subnet that the default router knows about. Hence, the reason that the Nortel router emits ICMP redirects which my client steadfastly ignores.
I've RTFM, read the kernel source, and checked the relevant settings (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/*). I find in /proc/net/rt_cache that there are 2 entries, one of which is marked RTCF_REDIRECTED.
Why isn't this redirected route being used?
This seems like a problem that ought to be common to anyone that has multiple routers on the same subnet. What am I missing?
