Hello Chris,

I have look for that already, but it doesn't look like that is the case...

RTA RTB
   \ /
    FrameA --- Async (Cisco console cable) --- FrameB
   / \
RTB RTD

frame_B#sh ip int brief
Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol
Async1 10.1.9.6 YES NVRAM up up
Ethernet0 unassigned YES NVRAM administratively down down
Serial0 unassigned YES NVRAM up up
Serial1 unassigned YES NVRAM up up
Tunnel0 10.1.9.2 YES NVRAM up up
frame_B#sh run
frame_B#sh running-config int tu0
Building configuration...

Current configuration : 113 bytes
!
interface Tunnel0
 ip address 10.1.9.2 255.255.255.252
 tunnel source Async1
 tunnel destination 10.1.9.5
end

frame_B#sh ip route 10.1.9.5
Routing entry for 10.1.9.5/32
  Known via "connected", distance 0, metric 0 (connected, via interface)
  Routing Descriptor Blocks:
  * directly connected, via Async1
      Route metric is 0, traffic share count is 1

frame_B#

N.B:- Even though the interface are all up, you can't ping it...

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.1.9.1, timeout is 2 seconds:
.....
Success rate is 0 percent (0/5)
frame_B#

But if I admin shut and un-shut it... it will work for another while

frame_B#config t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

frame_B#ping 10.1.9.1

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.1.9.1, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 92/94/96 ms
frame_B#

And there is no recurive routing message in the log.

Hunt
