I am not sure if this is because its a point to point interface, but from
my own machine, I can never ping myself, only the other side.
e.g.
ifconfig en0
en0: flags=841<UP,RUNNING,SIMPLEX> mtu 9180
inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 0xfffffffc
ruby2% route add -iface 192.168.1.1 -link en0:3.0.03.8e
ruby2% ping 192.168.1.2
PING 192.168.1.2 (192.168.1.2): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: No route to host
ping: sendto: No route to host
^C
--- 192.168.1.2 ping statistics ---
2 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
But if I do this,
ruby2# route add 192.168.1.2 127.0.0.1
add host 192.168.1.2: gateway 127.0.0.1
ruby2# !ping
ping 192.168.1.2
PING 192.168.1.2 (192.168.1.2): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.1.2: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0.047 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.2: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=0.022 ms
It works. Is it supposed to work this way ?
