ipv6 bgp neighbor session using link-local

How do you establish ipv6 bgp neighbor session using link local (fe80.)?

I tried this way, then see the following console log messages on r1 and
r3.then I followed something I read about adding a "%" at the end of the
link local address, but that didn't seem to work either.

Rack1R1#conf t

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

Rack1R1(config)#router bgp 200

Rack1R1(config-router)#no bgp default ipv4-unicast

Rack1R1(config-router)#neighbor FE80::13 remote-as 300

Rack1R1(config-router)#neighbor FE80::13 update-source s2/0

Rack1R1(config-router)#address-family ipv6 unicast

Rack1R1(config-router-af)#neighbor FE80::13 activate

Rack1R1#
