When I try to use the extended ping command and specify a source IP address
I am receiving an 'invalid source' error. I have tried many different
combinations but with no joy, it does, however, work if I specify an
iterface (such as serial 0). I've also tried this on my 2611 router with
the same results, even if I type '?' at the 'source address' prompt I still
receive an eror message - does anyone have any ideas?

TIA, Jase

Can you do a sh ip int brief and post the results?

The source address you specify must be configured on an interface on the
router and be in an UP/UP state. You can't just pick one at random,
otherwise how does the router get the replies?

The source address I'm using is on another router which can't ping the
destination address, I'm troubleshooting the problem & running the
extended ping from this router as if the ping had originated on the
other. Both routers in question can ping each other fine, this seems
similar to examples I've seen on Cisco's site regarding the extended
ping command.

Similar, but differing in one small regard: you're setting the source
address to be that of a different router, and it won't work.

Thanks for clearing that up, I'd made some incorrect assumptions.

This option in extended ping is NOT for spoofing, it's just there to let
you select which of the router's addresses to use. By default it uses
the address of the outgoing interface. But if you have a router
connecting nets A and B, and you want to test whether machines on net A
(or beyond) can reach net B, you can use this option to specify the
router's net B address while pinging.
