IPV6 Access List Question. ACL Not Blocking Every ICMP Echo Request.

Hello everyone,

Studying for my CCNA and I have a quick question about IPV6 access lists. I have 3 routers connected with EIGRP routing enabled on interfaces used:

[Router1] G0/0 < -> G0/0 [Router2] G0/1 < - > G0/1 (2001:A:B:31::2) [Router3]

I created an access list on Router2 which is designed to block access from Router 1 G0/0 to Router 3 G0/1 (2001:A:B:31::2):
ipv6 access-list block_Router1
 deny ipv6 any host 2001:A:B:31::2
 permit ipv6 any any

I then applied said ACL to interface G0/1 of Router2:
interface GigabitEthernet0/1
....
 ipv6 traffic-filter block_NYEDGE2 out
....

When I ping from Router1 to Router3:
ping ipv6 2001:A:B:31::2
I receive the following output (with "debug ipv6 icmp" enabled):
Router1#ping 2001:A:B:31::2
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 2001:A:B:31::2, timeout is 2 seconds:
[B]A!AA![/B]
[B]Success rate is 40 percent (2/5)[/B], round-trip min/avg/max = 0/0/0 ms

Well, while typing up this thread, I realized that I must have an extra physical connection somewhere between Router2 and Router3. Of course, I did and a simple interface shutdown command on the proper interface of Router2 fixed everything. I will still post this so that others can laugh/learn from my mistake.
