Hi Tony,
the real customer configuration is more complex, we used the other one
just for testing and to understand, what ARP is doing:
-------------------
| |
Host DECnis
| | | several more Ethernet and FDDI Interfaces
The host has a default gateway entry for the DECnis.
We also see the behaviour that you can do a PING to an interface at the
DECnis where the Routing Circuit is actually set to OFF.
Because the local interface to the host side is still available the DECnis
still responds to the PING. Is this also the intended behaviour ?
Many thanks for your help

Yes. Again the idea is that the DECNIS will accept any of its
configured IP addresses as a valid destination address, so even if the circuit
is down you can still telnet and snmp to the router using the same address.
It wouldn't be too difficult for us to add a management switch to
change this behaviour to a strict "IP address belongs to a circuit" model.
Please submit an IPMT case requesting this addition if you need it.
