I intend to use iptables for that purpose as its role is to route between two vlans and provide filtering on a lan. However I am trying to get the routing working first. I have two nic's, an address assigned to each one is 192.168.1.0/24 and one is 172.16.2.0/28. I have enabled ip_forward. From the box i can ping out both interfaces. However its still not routing traffic. My iptables policys are blank and default policys are set to all accept. Any Ideas ? Thanks.
