VPN query

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.

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.

The problem report is PR 24386, the problem is fixed in 5.2R3; 5.3R2; 5.4R1;
5.5R1

Hasanga
