Maybe there is a mgmt network allowing access to all the devices.
Can you run a trace route to see the path?

Subject: Connections in Vlab topologies
Hi.
I am using the vlabs to test some BGP configurations and am confused with something very basic. I am currently using the topology below and am logging in to vMX1 and trying to ping the ips that are configured on VMX 2 and 3. I then try to disable the connections by clicking on the links and seleting disable, which turns the solid line to a dotted line. I did this to both connections from vMX1. The weird thing is that I am still able to ping the ips configured on vMX2 and 3 (10.100.12.2 and 10.100.13.2) Is there something that I am missing here? I have noticed this behavior in other topologies with Vlabs as well and also the ability to ping a typo when entering an ip (I was supposedly pinging 80.0.1).
I don't see how I am pinging if the cables are disconnected. Any help greatly appreciated.
Ben
