thanks, when I used the extended ping and set the source address to
10.2.6.6, it worked like a charm. I must have had a brain freeze. Raj

Routers (and hosts as well) allways use their primary IP address of their
outgoing interface as source address when originating packet.

When You ping 10.2.6.7 from R6, the source IP address of the echo request
packet is
172.16.136.6. This address does not appear in routing table of R7 so it
drops the reply packet.

Hi,

This seems very strange to me.

I have 2 routers R6 and R7 connected via a Cat5k Ethernet. Both routers int
E0 are in vlan 2,

R7 config:

int e0
ip addr 10.2.6.7 255.255.254.0

R6 config:

int E0
ip addr 10.2.6.6 255.255.254.0 secondary
ip addr 172.16.136.6 255.255.255.0

The route table of both routers shows an entry for 10.2.6.0/23 and both int
are up up when I do a show int e0.

From R7 I can ping 10.2.6.6 but from R6 I can't ping 10.2.6.7

Can anybody explain why this is and what I should about it?

I'd very much would appreciate it. Thanks, Raj
