Yasmin,
If you didn't configure the link-local address, maybe the link-local
address on the serial point-point int was already unique ...
If not, I am puzzled and have no explanation
I always configure the update-source, that is not the problem, but if I
don't configure a link-local, the session doesnt't come up; and as I
said, not only BGP but also telnet doesn't work and when I debug ipv6
packets I see that they are not transmitted because 'invalid source
address'
thanks,
Luca
