[j-nsp] Need help on ping output

[Guy Davies]

Hi Sonny,

The address 10.254.1.2 is the source of the packets being sent back to
"router" with ICMP Destination Host Unreachable messages in them.  That
means that your packets reached a router which had no route to the
destination host.  I suggest that you identify the location of that router.

You need to check that the interface is actually up and you're not using
some alternative path to reach destinations "beyond" your ATM link.

I'd also suggest that you check your routing table and forwarding table to
see what the next hop for 192.168.21.133 is.  If you don't see it using the
command "show route <blah>" then try "show route <blah> hidden extensive".
That might show you that the route is actually being filtered (perhaps
because 192.168.0.0/16 has been added to your martians?).  If this is the
case, the packet may be using a default route to reach 10.254.1.2 but, if
that router is injecting the default, there will be no forwarding path from
there.

Hope that gives you a few ideas.

Regards,

Guy
