I coudn't manage to set up basic ip forwarding on OSX Yosemite 10.10.1 Mac-Mini.

I use the exact same configuration on a OSX Mavericks 10.9.5 Mac-Mini, and it's working perfectly ?

I set the 

sudo sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
sudo sysctl -w net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1
sudo sysctl -w net.inet.ip.fw.enable=0

I use two interfaces

one on network with gateway to internet en0 : 

ip 192.168.7.7 
gateway : 192.168.7.254

one for local purpose only en5 (usb to ethernet)

ip 192.168.54.254
gateway : self

I configure a DHCP on the en5 for delivering ip 

192.168.54.0/24

I configure static route on my routeur (192.168.7.254) 

Destination 192.168.54.0/24 -> 192.168.7.7

When a device is connected on the en5 interface

  • they get a good ip from dhcp (192.168.54.x)

  • they can ping en5 interface

    ping 192.168.54.254 // ok

  • they can ping en0 interface

    ping 192.168.7.7 // ok

  • But i couldn't achieve to contact any other machine on the 192.168.7.x network, or any ip from outside.

    ping 192.168.7.254 // timeout

Here is my route table

PF is disable

Once again i have the exact same configuration on a mac mini on OS 10.9.5 and it's working, ip forwarding have the classic behavior....

Thanks for help.

  • Do your machines in 192.168.54.0/24 have a route telling them how to get to 192.168.7.0/24? – devicenull Dec 03 '14 at 01:20
  • Machine in 192.168.54.0/24 have 192.168.54.254 as gateway, and you can see in route tables 192.168.6/23 -> link#4 -> UCS -> en0 on the 192.168.54.254 machine – rubijn Dec 03 '14 at 11:03
  • Executing `man sysctl` I see this "COMPATIBILITY The -w option has been deprecated and is silently ignored." – rstackhouse May 14 '15 at 20:38
