And -- have you configured the qfe2 port to be somewhere in the
192.1.1.* block? If the port is configured to be in 192.168.*.*, it
will probably not see anything from 192.1.1.1. Maybe the promiscuous
mode of "snoop" will allow you to see it -- but not talk to it.
Edit /etc/hosts to change your "spare" entry to 192.1.1.10 or
something like that and reboot to switch that port to the new IP range,
and plug the box into the qfe3 port until you get it configured to use
an IP range of your choice.
