Hi, When we configure ATM subinterface as multipoint as shown below, you cannot ping this address from the same router. But you can ping it only if you are atleast one hop away from the router where you have define this multipoint address. Can someone tell me why ????? Exmaple ---------- interface ATM1/1/0.200 multipoint ip address 2.2.2.1 255.255.255.0 no ip directed-broadcast pvc 2/200 protocol ip 2.2.2.2 broadcast For example you cannot ping 2.2.2.1 from this router, but if you would go atleast one hop away from it, you can ping. Thanks.
