ping from a route domain

hi, just wondering, in order to test the routing on a route domain do you ping to the destination with the %id after it? ie for route domain 13 - ping 10.10.10.10%13

config

Also, note there is the "rdsh" command in 11.x. This sets a unix shell from the cli that then uses the route domain normally.

e.g.

rdsh 1105
ping 10.10.10.10

 telnet 10.10.10.10 890

really hoping 'rdsh' introduces a cmd prompt change, so you can tell when you are not in rdsh 0. Have given F5 this feedback. Its annoying because certain commands won't work until you jump back into rdsh 0, which can lead one to researching the command etc only to remember to jump back into rdsh 0.
