I have two routers, A and B, that are connected to each other via two FE links.
Each link has it's own subnet. Each router also has its own loopback address.
Here is how it looks
FA 1 ------------------- FA 1
A B
FA 2 ------------------- FA 2
A FA 1 : 10.1.1.1/30
A FA 2 : 10.2.1.1/30
A LO 0: 172.16.1.1/32
B FA 1: 10.1.1.2/30
B FA 2: 10.2.1.2/30
B LO 0: 172.16.1.2/32
I created 2 static routes on each router to get to the other router's loopback.
On router A:
ip route 172.16.1.2 255.255.255.255 fa 1
ip route 172.16.1.2 255.255.255.255 fa 2
On router B:
ip route 172.16.1.1 255.255.255.255 fa 1
ip route 172.16.1.1 255.255.255.255 fa 2
I still cannot ping the loopback from the other router. When I shut down one of the ports, it works. I can ping each of the physical ports fine.
Is this not supported?

Hi,
is it working when you configure the static routes pointing to next-hop instead of outgoing interface ?
Can you also try with network routes instead of host routes.

Hi Alain,
I will try with next-hop address when I get to the office. What do you mean when you say network routes? Like create a bigger subnet to try instead of the /32?

Hi,
yes I mean ip route 172.16.1.0 255.255.255.0

Thank you. Setting the next hop to the ip address rather than out the interface worked.
Do you have an explanation of why that didn't work before?

I mean, why setting the next hop to the interface didn't work.

Hi,
I labbed it up and here is what is happening when using the outgoing interface in both static routes:
r1(config)#do p 172.16.1.2 so lo0
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 172.16.1.2, timeout is 2 seconds:
Packet sent with a source address of 172.16.1.1
.....
Success rate is 0 percent (0/5)
r1(config)#do debug arp
ARP packet debugging is on
r1(config)#do p 172.16.1.2 so lo0
Type escape sequence to abort.
