Sure, if there's a route connecting them. You can ping localhost as well, can't you?

  • by default, after adding ip to both interface, without adding firewall rule, i taught i should be able to ping them. Note: am using mikrotik routeros on with gns3. when ip were added to the interface, some route were created automatically in the table. but still they can not ping each other – Adewale Soliu Aug 31 '17 at 14:50

Yes, if the L3 device (router) is configured to permit it.
