Alex,

That sounds like a very creative solution but I don't think this will work.
Can you test this? I don't have a Cat 3550 otherwise I would test it
myself.

Also, could you elaborate a little more about that summary address? Are you
saying to create a summary on the Cat? If so, how would you do that given
that the CAT isn't running a routing protocol. Are you saying, I should just
change the mask to a shorter mask, for example, the original address on the
Cat's interface connecting it to R5 is 142.6.58.8/24. If I change the mask
to /16, then, you're right, the Cat will see the source address of all pings
as on the same subnet and will arp for the L2 mac address. And, then, since
proxy arp is on by default, R5 will take it from there.

If all I have to do is create a summary adddress on the CAT, then this
solution would work and not violate the rules. But, otherwise, I think, so
far, at least, that NAT is the only viable solution that doesn't break the
lab rules.

There are general Lab instructions which prohibit adding or changing any
addresses unless explicitly stated otherwise. So, this wouldn't work in this
particular situation ( the 2ndary address added to the Cat interface), but I
really like the creativity of your solution.

At this point I'm 99% sure the solution being looked for was NAT.

But, thanks, I like that creative thinking.

Tim
