I think I come to the same conclusion that you did, which is that you can ping an unnumbered serial interface. It's kind of stretching the truth though. You're pinging the router, but are you really pinging the serial interface when you're using an address that is not associated with the

So your saying that you configured the serial interface with ip unnumbered, sourcing the ethernet interface of the repective routers. If you shut down the ethernet you can still access the remote router over the serial?? This is something new or have I been out of the unnumbered game too

Peter , The book says clearly that the interface is pingable. Even more, I have tried it and it really works. I just took two routers connected by back_to_back serial cables with IP unnumbered configured on both. When I unplugg the Lan interface of one them, this router is still reachable by the

That is good. I wasn't saying necessarily that it wasn't, I was just saying that the ISP essentials quote you gave didn't say that it wasn't specifically. Again though, can you quote msgs to make the trail easier for those of us who don't a) read the newsgroup, and b) arrange by threads.

I don't see a conflict either. The ISP's responsibility ends at the external gateway router, unless maintenance is outsourced. If the ISP provides the router, it may be responsible for the LAN interface, but not for the reachability of devices on that LAN. More commonly, the ISP simply
