ok, i've been having a problem going pings from arbitrary
interfaces...basically for multicast. i need help with how to do this
properly. let's say i have a multicast server on a subnet and i want to see
if i can get responds from a router on another subnet, how would i go about
doing the extended ping?

Server-----------e0/0--R1--S0/0-----------------------------s0/0--R2
--e0/0---"igmp join-group 225.1.1.1
1.1.1.5 1.1.1.1 2.1.1.1 2.1.1.2
3.1.1.1

i want to ping from the server, or i guess in practicality, from R1 int
e0/0, to multicast address 225.1.1.1.

r1#ping
Protocol [ip]:
Target IP address: 225.1.1.1
Repeat count [1]:
Datagram size [100]:
Timeout in seconds [2]:
Extended commands [n]: y
Interface [All]: serial0
Time to live [255]:
Source address: 1.1.1.1
Type of service [0]:
Set DF bit in IP header? [no]:
Validate reply data? [no]:
Data pattern [0xABCD]:
Loose, Strict, Record, Timestamp, Verbose[none]:
Sweep range of sizes [n]:
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 1, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 225.1.1.1, timeout is 2 seconds:
Packet sent with a source address of 1.1.1.1
...

is this the correct way to source the ping packets from the subnet that the
server is on?
