[j-nsp] VPN query

[Umar Ahmed]

Hey all,

Heres a weird one.. when I was on my vpn course not so many moons ago, I
confirmed that the commands ping (address) routing-instance (vpn) and ping
vpn-interface (interface) can be used interchangeably, and perform the same
function. 

Ok, so I tried to ping one of my interfaces that belongs to my VRF using the
routing-instance command: "ping 10.0.0.1 routing-instance vpn-a" and dont
get a reply at all !

But, when I use the vpn-interface command :  "ping 10.0.0.1 vpn-interface
ae0.100" , I get a response ? Now can anyone shed some light on this, also
please note that the interface i'm pinging is the local interface and NOT
the customer end. I guess these commands do not have the same
functionality...

Regards,

Umar.
