I have a need to send data out one lan port and be received by another Lan port on the same machine using a loopback ethernet cable, for test purposes, on an RHEL4 machine. Anyone know of a simple script or program that can do it? What would the ifcfg-ethx files config be? Needs to be TCP/IP packets, not just pinging. I'm sure there must be a simple, quick way to do it but so far everything I've tried, netcat, perl script, etc, havent been successful. Thanks all.
