The requirement is usually stated in terms of something along the lines of
"every router must be able to ping every interface of every other router"
The point of the pinging is to prove reachability.
I am not so sure that the intent is to trick you or to make your life
miserable. Ping testing is the easiest way to prove routing is working.
Yes there are issues on frame relay clouds. One should therefore be familiar
with the issues, and the difference between ping and extended ping. If
extended ping gets response from an NMBA interface on the cloud, and normal
ping does not, I would call this an "ask the proctor" situation

Subject: Do we really have to ping EVERY interface?
Hey Group,
I have a quick question about the CCIE lab. When the requirement states that
we must be able to ping every interface from every router, does that also
include a router's own interfaces? For example, in frame relay, a router
can't ping it's own interface unless there is a map statement configured to
do that. Could anyone help me out here?
Thanks in advance
