Priscilla, that's not what I said. Here's what I said: "...pings sent by one router will not be filtered by another router? " Hence my diagram for further explanation: Router A -=- Router B -=- Device A (-=- can be ethernet x-over, serial back-to-back, etc) An ACL is applied on Router B's interface (applied inbound) that is connected to Router A. What I originally said, and continue to say, is that Router B will most certainly block packets (pings or whatever) coming from Router A...and it is irrelevant if Router A is a router or a host device. The ACL on Router B doesnt care if the device sending packets is a router or an end host device! If Router B was initiating the ping and Router B had the ACL applied, that would be a different story. ttyl, -Brad Ellis CCIE#5796 [EMAIL PROTECTED] used Cisco: www.optsys.net ""Priscilla Oppenheimer"" wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > At 08:06 PM 8/26/01, Brad Ellis wrote: > >Priscilla, > > > >Are you saying that pings sent by one router will not be filtered by another > >router?
