Hi, thanks for your response. >2) If the router has multiple paths to the destination does specifying the source-address mean that 100% of the time it will use the Interface that the indicated source address is assigned to?
No .. should be load-balanced. ------------------------------ If that is the case and the whole purpose is to determine whether or not the individual interfaces are passing traffic then couldn't using this method present false positives about which Interface is actually having a problem? I am currently using the 'connected (/30)' IP address as the destination. My question about 'reachability vs state' tracking was basically just me being confused at how the state could be 'OK' if there was no reachability or how the reachability could fine if the state was not OK. is there a better choice to pick in my specific example? thanks, -Drew _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
