Hi all, and advanced thanks to anyone kind enough to respond.
I've two Oracle based linux servers connected to individual switches.
The two switches are connected via a routed link.
The two switches set as the gateway for the two linux servers respectively.
ping from either to the other results in 100% packet loss.
ping -R from either to the other provides full correct/expected route information displayed followed by 100% successful ping outputs.
One of the linux servers is in a VMWare environment. I've created a Windows server in same subnet as this and normal ping to/from the physical linux server works normally. So it appears to just be a linux anomaly....
As you have 100% packet loss with pings, does anything work transferring between them? Is there firewalls running? If you want us to solve network problems, we want good information.
If they're talking on some level, I would run nmap on each to see what ports are visible.
