Routing non-routable addresses

Sorry for the dumb question: how do I debug ip-forwarding?

My setup is as follows:

  • I have a Linux SoC connected via serial line to a Linux laptop

  • over that serial line I have a working PPP

    sudo pppd updetatch connect 'chat -f chatscript' noauth nocrtscts local 192.168.8.1:192.168.8.2 /dev/ttyUSB0 115200

  • the laptop on the other end of the serial line has regular net connection (192.168.7.xxx)

  • I added a default route on SoC pointing to the remote PPP

    ip route add default via 192.168.8.1

  • I enabled ip_forward on laptop

    echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

This is not enough to have a working network though.

In order to reach the Internet I should enable NAT on laptop, but this is not my primary concern.

I checked ip-tables on laptop and they all show

`Chain [INPUT/FORWARD/PUTPUT] (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)`

My real problem is I would need to route form SoC to some other machine sitting om my regular LAN (192.168.7.0/24).

I assume I need to add some sort of static route as addresses in 182.168.x.y are not routable by default.

I am stuck here as I didn't find a way to ip route add ... to make it working.

I am able to ping from SoC to Laptop and vice-versa, but nothing beyond that.

What should I add?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
