Hi all, has anyone else ever see this:

client with ip 10.6.201.20/16 and gateway
of 10.6.1.1 can only
ping a host with an ip address of
10.1.1.8/16 after the router has
successfully pinged 10.1.1.8/16?

The destination host has 2 ip addresses
assigned to an ethernet interface:

69.66.x.x/21
10.1.1.8/16
default gateway of 69.66.x.1/21

The router has
69.66.x.1 on gig 0/0
10.1.1.1/16 on gig0/1 as primary and
10.6.1.1/16 as secondary

thanks!

I have a feeling this might be related to whether or not you have "ip
route-cache same-interface" configured on gig0/1.

yes, ip route-cache same interface is enabled on gig 0/1

So if it fails with this set, what happens if you unset it?

the issue appears to be that the interface was bound to a BVI interface
(not sure why a BVI was used here)

placing the config on the physical interface solved the issue
