[j-nsp] Ping Question

[Steve Holman]

No it wouldn't.  The router knows it has a path to the destination within itself, therefore, it doesn't need to send the ping out the interface to reach the destination.  It would however, traverse the PIC, but won't go out the interface.  You should be able to use the "bypass-routing" variable along with the "interface" variable to force the ping packet out the particular DS3.  I'm not 100% sure it will work, but I've used it when looping other types of interfaces for testing purposes.
 
Cheers,
Steve

I have the following situation: 
Two DS3 interfaces on the same CHOC-12 PIC connected to eachother through other layer 1 
transport equipment. 

t3-0/1/0:2 (192.168.2.1/30) -----------> 
                                                        | 
                                                        | 
                                                        | 
                                                Layer 1 Equipment 
                                                        | 
                                                        | 
                                                        | 
                                                        v 
t3-0/1/0:1 (192.168.2.2/30) <-----------                

If I run the following command: 
ping 192.168.2.1 interface t3-0/1/0:1 count 1000000 size xxxx rapid 

Would the traffic actually go out t3-0/1/0:1 through the Layer 1 box and back into 
t3-0/1/0:2? 

Thanks!
