Hi All, BGP connection between 2 Nodes with IPv6 on global IPs and want to route via global ipv6 address not via ipv6 link local address I have made the bgp connection with global ipv6 address of interface and advertising the ipv6 route when advertising the route then bgp route added on Node2 for *2003:4001:5001::/64 via **fe80::6548:ed45:d5d:b578:link address of Node1 **but i want route with via * *5001:1::9 global ipv6 address (**2003:4001:5001::/64 via **5001:1::9) * Similarly when we advertise 8001:1::/64 from Node2, *So want help so that I can achieve the bgp route added on Node1 and Node2 via global ipv6 address not with ipv6 link address* 2003:4001:5001::/64 ------------[Node1]<===========================>[Node2]------------- 8001:1::/64 ASN:65001 ASN:65002 *5001:1::9:global * *5001:1::10:global* *fe80::6548:ed45:d5d:b578:link * *fe80::2938:1046:591:8387:link* *[Node1 configuration and interface info]* [root@localhost centosecmp]#* ifconfig ens5|grep inet* inet 10.5.10.9 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.5.10.255 *inet6 5001:1::9 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x0<global>* *inet6 fe80::6548:ed45:d5d:b578 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link>* localhost.localdomain(config-router)# *do show running-config* Building configuration...
