<P><FONT size=2>there was a bug in JUNOS where you couldnt ping the local
interfaces. if you have access to their Problem Report cache, do a search
there. The fault has been fixed in a recent release of the code
base.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>The problem report is PR 24386, the problem is fixed in 5.2R3;
5.3R2; 5.4R1; 5.5R1 </FONT></P>

<BR><FONT size=2>></FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>>Hey all,</FONT> <BR><FONT
size=2>></FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>>Heres a weird one.. when I was on my
vpn course not so many </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>>moons ago, I</FONT>
<BR><FONT size=2>>confirmed that the commands ping (address)
routing-instance </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>>(vpn) and ping</FONT> <BR><FONT
size=2>>vpn-interface (interface) can be used interchangeably, and
</FONT><BR><FONT size=2>>perform the same</FONT> <BR><FONT
size=2>>function. </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>></FONT> <BR><FONT
size=2>>Ok, so I tried to ping one of my interfaces that belongs to my
</FONT><BR><FONT size=2>>VRF using the</FONT> <BR><FONT
size=2>>routing-instance command: "ping 10.0.0.1 routing-instance
</FONT><BR><FONT size=2>>vpn-a" and dont</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>>get a
reply at all !</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>></FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>>But,
when I use the vpn-interface command : "ping 10.0.0.1 </FONT><BR><FONT
size=2>>vpn-interface</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>>ae0.100" , I get a
response ? Now can anyone shed some light </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>>on this,
also</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>>please note that the interface i'm pinging is
the local </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>>interface and NOT</FONT> <BR><FONT
size=2>>the customer end. I guess these commands do not have the
same</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>>functionality...</FONT> <BR><FONT
