iputils version : 20121221-7.el7 I have a simulator which simulates physical devices on a remote network, each of these virtual devices have different ips, when i try to ping one of these devices, from RHEL7 using the command "ping -c 1 172.20.1.xxx" the output i get : PING 172.20.1.xxx (172.20.1.xx) 56(84) bytes of data. From 10.3.1.xyz: icmp_seq=1 Redirect Network(New nexthop: 10.3.1.yy) From 10.3.1.xyz icmp_seq=1 Redirect Network --- 172.20.1.xxx ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 0 received, +1 errors, 100% packet loss, time 0ms while when using the following command: "ping -c 2 172.20.1.xxx" the output i get: PING 172.20.1.xxx (172.20.1.xxx) 56(84) bytes of data. From 10.3.1.xyz: icmp_seq=1 Redirect Network(New nexthop: 10.3.1.yy) From 10.3.1.xyz icmp_seq=1 Redirect Network64 bytes from 172.20.1.xxx: icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=59.1 ms --- 172.20.1.xxx ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, +1 errors, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 59.144/59.144/59.144/0.000 ms This as i can see involves redirection of network from one ip to other. But using the command : "ping -c 1 172.20.1.xxx" works fine in RHEL6, with the output as: PING 172.20.1.xxx (172.20.1.xxx) 56(84) bytes of data. From 10.3.1.xyz: icmp_seq=1 Redirect Network(New nexthop: 10.3.1.yy) 64 bytes from 172.20.1.xxx: icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=58.9 ms --- 172.20.1.xxx ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 58ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 58.931/58.931/58.931/0.000 ms Why is the ping behavior different in RHEL7?
(In reply to Abhi from comment #0) > Why is the ping behavior different in RHEL7? Because the versions are ages apart. Moreover, iputils might be rebased in RHEL-7.3, see bz#1273336. Packages for i386 are not supported. This bug report is not a valid bug report. You should contact the Red Hat support.

I beg your pardon, but by mistake i mentioned the hardware architecture as i386 instead of "x86_64". Can you please look into the issue considering hardware architecture as "x86_64 Linux". The iputils version using which i am facing issues is of version: iputils.x86_64 20121221-7.el7 @anaconda/7.2 While everyting works fine with RHEL 6.4 which has iputils as: iputils.x86_64 20071127-16.el6 I am changing the status of bug from closed to New. -Thanks
Works for me in iputils-20160308-8.el7.x86_64
