  • 1.  Ping with Strange Results

    Posted 05-22-2013 14:24

    I'm trying to work out this issue that keeps showing up with branch location. The branch locations are using SRX210HE with 11.4R7.5. The issue is when I do a ping from the device out I get some strange results. The results aren't the same for every host I attempt to ping. I've changed the DNS being used by the device to multiple other DNS that I know but with the same result. I'm curious to find out if anyone has run into this and what they did to fix it. Or, I'm being a complete noob and missed something simple.

     

    Here's the output of the devices:

     

    user@branch-1> ping juniper.net rapid count 5
    PING juniper.net.badcock.com (67.192.177.252): 56 data bytes
    !!!!!
    --- juniper.net.badcock.com ping statistics ---
    5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received, 0% packet loss
    round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 49.893/53.226/61.577/4.254 ms

     

    user@branch-1> ping google.com rapid count 5

    PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) :: --> 2607:f8b0:4008:805::1006
    ping: sendmsg: No route to host
    ping6: wrote google.com 16 chars, ret=-1
    .ping: sendmsg: No route to host
    ping6: wrote google.com 16 chars, ret=-1
    .ping: sendmsg: No route to host
    ping6: wrote google.com 16 chars, ret=-1
    .ping: sendmsg: No route to host
    ping6: wrote google.com 16 chars, ret=-1
    .ping: sendmsg: No route to host
    ping6: wrote google.com 16 chars, ret=-1
    .
    --- google.com ping6 statistics ---
    5 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss

     

    The best part is I've never configured IPv6 on any interfaces or put an IPv6 route on the device. The branch is able to complete a site-to-site tunnel and surf the web with no issues. I also put a SRX240 with version 11.4R2.14 on a test connection and I'm seeing the same thing.

    Hi,

    Thanks MIke.S for your help, but can you please explain why do we have to type "inet" in the command?

    Thanks again!
