RE: same subnet IPs used on 2 different interfaces

Ahh, it is clearer to me now.

So why does IOS let you configure this on sub-interface and not on main?
Not sure :)

What I believe is happening here though is that there is no internal
bridging. What is happening is when you ping 172.16.124.1, traffic is
load balanced out of S1/0.1 and S1/0.2 to the destinations at the other
end of the DLCIs, those routers then have a map statement (or are p2p
sub-interfaces) and can turn the packet around back towards the original
router. I believe it is just as normal for when you want a router to
ping a local IP on a frame interface, it sends the packet out where ever
the combination of routing table and frame map statements tell it to,
and as long as the remote end has a way of mapping it back, the ping
works.

Hi, Chris
I did in fact look at the routing table, and that's where I got
confused, R1 is the hub router and R2 and R4 are the spokes, I know R2
and R4 would see /32 for each of the p-t-p sub-interfaces on R1, but in
R1 I saw the following, it only generate /32 for the neighbor routers
but not itself, which is expected. it works perfectly fine.
But, just so I make my question clear, I was trying to understand how
the 2 sub-interfaces forward pkts btw them, or in another word, why IOS
allows this type of configuration on 2 subinterfaces but not on 2
physical interfaces?

Thanks,
Pat
