strange ping responses

Hi

Im using GNS3 to learn about VPNs. I have set up a 3 way mesh MPLS VPN using BGP/VRFs to redistribute rip (V2 no auto-sumary) between all three sites.

rip is successfully distributing between the sites.

If i ping any of the loopback interfaces on the CE routers i get a response from in ip address one address lower than that I pinged.

e.g:

HO#ping 192.168.1.223

Type escape sequence to abort.

Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 192.168.1.223, timeout is 2 seconds:

Reply to request 3 from 192.168.1.222, 36 ms

Reply to request 4 from 192.168.1.222, 40 ms

If i try and bing any physical interfaces on the CE router I get no response.

Can anyone tell me what is happening?

Can you post your topology? Is HO the PE router or one of the CEs?

HTH, John *** Please rate all useful posts ***

Thanks for the reply. HO is a CE router but i found the issue was an IP conflict.
