<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>

<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 SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>>Regards,</FONT>
