RE: Link-Local Address on IPv6

Because locally generated packets are always sourced from the link-local
address on every interface.

That's why, when you run RIPng or OSPFv3, you'll see the FE80::x addreses as
the next hop in your routing table.

Subject: Link-Local Address on IPv6

Guys,

 

I still cannot undersand what the main purpose of link-local address. I know
that this addresses just for a link address and cannot be routed.

 

But when we implement RipNG on frame-relay, if I do not map my link-local
address, the RIP can is actually passing each other route but I cannot ping
to the other side of IPV6 network. Actually RipNG use multicast address to
establish adjencie with their neighbor.

 

I just wnt to know why this happen, why have to map link-local address

 

Thanks all

 

Regards
