Re: IPv6 Link local addressing and FR maps

Hello guys,

As far as I know, Without link-local mapping in frame-relay, ping cannot go
through frame-relay.

Just yesterday, when I configure ipv6 site-local address on frame-relay
interface without enabling link-local mapping,
the frame-relay router which enable ipv6 do have routes. But can not ping.

This is my experience.

Can anyone explain to me.

Cheers,

Laurence
