When I do ping from system-1 192.168.11.5 to system-2 192.168.12.6 ,
ping echo packet is reaching on system-2 through NIC 192.168.12.6 but
system is not sending any response to 192.168.11.5 using either of NIC
i.e 192.168.11.6 or 192.168.12.6 ? Why this is happening ? Can you
help me ?

I have observed same type of symtoms when I do SSH from 192.168.11.5
to 192.168.12.6

FYI,
ip_forwarding is enable on router and iptables are no configured on
any of system .

Thanks,
Anil
