<p class="MsoNormal">Hey guys,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve got a small question and I thought somebody here might have an answer. We are implementing IPv6 internally now after bringing our external BGP up a few weeks ago, I have started configuring up OSPFv3 internally and I have instantly
noticed that while it’s all working fine, all the route tables show the link local addresses for each hop.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">While technically this is ok, it’s pretty annoying not being able to clearly see the host’s actual ipv6 address on the other end of the link. I have done a bit of reading and it seems that this is the way they do their neighbour relationships
now, but does anybody know if there is a way to get them to use their actual IPv6 addresses as assigned according to our IPv6 range we have been allocated?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It’s not “required” per say but it’s pretty annoying, at least it still shows the P2P VLAN I guess but it’d be nice for it to display an IP that actually meant something to me.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As far as I understand it, EIGRP is exactly the same so that idea went away pretty quick, thoughts?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">An example entry is:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">O 2405:2D00::2C/127 [110/4]<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> via FE80::20E:39FF:FE17:E140, Vlan922<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The host at the other end of that link has 2405:2d00::14/127 on the vlan and a loopback address of 2405:2D00::FF02/128. Ideally it would show the loopback but I’ll take either over that irrelevant link local
<span style="font-family:Wingdings">J</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
