Gotcha, I guess the interface showing down/down was weird to me because I have used other virtual-templates that were always up, but looking back its because they were ip unnumbered from a real interface this L1/L2 stats.
As for the pings I sourced them from multiple ips/interfaces and I still get no replies from within the router which is just weird maybe it's the version of IOS im using?

Since it's not a real interface, and it's not associated with a real interface with a real status, it won't have L1/L2 statuses. Maybe try sourcing the pings from Loop0.
