Local Policy Based Routing - Telnet?

Hey Group,

If you apply a local policy, should telnet traffic originated from that
device be considered local traffic such as pings?

In my testing so far, this is what I've found.

R2 ----> R3 ----> Cat35501(SVI)

Cat35501 doesn't know about the network between R2 and R3. R2 does know
about the network between R3 and Cat35501. I applied a local policy on
Cat35501 that sets the next hop to R3.

R2 can ping Cat35501
R2 can telnet to Cat35501 <---- I guess the Cat considers it local when R2
telnets to Cat35501.
Cat35501 can ping R2
Cat35501 CAN'T telnet to R2 <---- When I "debug ip policy" and "debug ip
packet", I don't see anything generated.

Cat35501#telnet 192.168.2.22
Trying 192.168.2.22 ...
% Destination unreachable; gateway or host down

Cat35501#

It looks as if the telnet session from the Cat35501 isn't getting classified
as local.

I guess it is doing a route lookup first and doesn't see the destination
route. Therefore, it doesn't even begin to initiate the telnet session which
would explain why I don't get any output from "debug ip packet".

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

TIA,
Eric
