OSPFv3 ping issue

Hi Group,

I'm stuck with a problem I don't really understand.

R2 and R4 are connected via a frame relay PVC. I configured their interfaces
as p2p sub-int. Configs as follows:

R2

--
ipv6 unicast-routing
!
interface Loopback0
 no ip address
 ipv6 address 2199:1999:3999:4F39::2/64
!
interface Serial0/0/0
 no ip address
 encapsulation frame-relay
 no frame-relay inverse-arp
!
interface Serial0/0/0.4 point-to-point
 description ** To R4 **
 ipv6 address FEC0:0:0:24::2/64
 ipv6 address FE80::2 link-local
 ipv6 ospf 1 area 0
 frame-relay interface-dlci 104
!
ipv6 router ospf 1
 router-id 2.2.2.2
 log-adjacency-changes
!

R4 -- ipv6 unicast-routing ! interface Loopback0 no ip address ipv6 address 2888:1111:4444:1111::4/64 ! interface Serial0/0 no ip address encapsulation frame-relay no frame-relay inverse-arp ! interface Serial0/0.2 point-to-point description ** To R2 ** ipv6 address FEC0:0:0:24::4/64 ipv6 address FE80::4 link-local ipv6 ospf 1 area 0 frame-relay interface-dlci 401 ! ipv6 router ospf 1 router-id 4.4.4.4 log-adjacency-changes redistribute connected metric-type 1 route-map CON2OSPFv3 ! route-map CON2OSPFv3 permit 10 match interface Loopback0 !

Verification: ------------- R2#sh ipv os n

Neighbor ID Pri State Dead Time Interface ID Interface 4.4.4.4 1 FULL/ - 00:00:31 14 Serial0/0/0.4

R2#sh ipv ro os OE1 2888:1111:4444:1111::/64 [110/801] via FE80::4, Serial0/0/0.4

The issue is, R2 ping to R4's loopback IPv6 address (2888:1111:4444:1111::4) failed, as follows:

R2#pi 2888:1111:4444:1111::4

Type escape sequence to abort. Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 2888:1111:4444:1111::4, timeout is 2 seconds: ..... Success rate is 0 percent (0/5)

Doing "deb ipv6 icmp" on R4, I noticed the following logs:

ICMPv6: Received ICMPv6 packet from 2199:1999:3999:4F39::2, type 128 ICMPv6: Received echo request from 2199:1999:3999:4F39::2 ICMPv6: Sending echo reply to 2199:1999:3999:4F39::2

Why R2 sourced from its loopback IPv6 address (2199:1999:3999:4F39::2) when it pinged to R4?

The issue is resolved when I advertised R2's loopback into OSPF, as follows:

R2(config)#int lo0 R2(config-if)#ipv os 1 are 0 R2(config-if)#do pi 2888:1111:4444:1111::4

Type escape sequence to abort. Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 2888:1111:4444:1111::4, timeout is 2 seconds: !!!!! Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 28/28/32 ms

Kindly help me understand the concept better.

Thank you.

B.Rgds, Lim TS
