If you have access to the CE devices, then you can issue normal pings from Bank 1 (PE1) to Bank 2 (PE2).
 
If you don't have access to the CE devices, then the next best thing is to use vrf aware ping from PE1 to Bank1 (at PE2), and then the reverse from PE2 to Bank1 (PE1).
 
This is of course assuming that ping packets aren't blocked for some security reason.

Hi,
 
 
Thank u all for helping me..................regarding ping.
 
Its working now. One more doubt!
 
 
How to test the complete set up...I mean how to justify that BANK1 of PE1 can Reach BANK1 of PE2 
 
 
 
Bank1\                                                              /Bank2
            \                                                   rip  /        
       rip  \                                                      /
               PE1-------ospf-----P--------ospf----------PE2
              /                                                       \
            /   rip                                             rip  \
Bank2/                                                               \BANK1
 
 
 
 
Can anybody tell how to test these setup. From PE1 i tried to ping the loopback address of the PE2 ,but it is not working. How to test iBGP.
 
SET UP:    RIP is running between all PE-CE links.
                OSPF is running as an IGP in Backbone
                 Loop back address is given at both the PE routers.And activated on both the routers.
                 But Iam not getting  any information by giving   #sh ip bgp on PE routers.
 
 
 
 
Regards
