        If it's of any consequence... When doing the ASET lab's, the
auto-verify grading tool marked it as wrong if I only put the broadcast
statement on the link-local and not the global. I did verify it as a
working config without the broadcast on my global frame map, but the
grading tool didn't agree.

 I have the same question about IPv6 over FR. When creating FR ipv6
mapping statement, do we need to put the keyword "broadcast" on both
global address mapping and link-local mapping? What the difference
between these two methods?

e.g.
      frame-relay map ipv6 2002:1001:1020::6/48 102 broadcast
      frame-relay map ipv6 fe80::6 102 broadcast
