OSPFv3 Neighbors do not need to be on same subnet

· >

We will use below topology and different subnet at both end, then we will check the adjacency and try to ping in order to confirm.

R2 F0/0 <—–> F0/0 R3

R2 Configuration:

R2#sho run int f0/0
Building configuration...

Current configuration : 153 bytes
!
interface FastEthernet0/0
 no ip address
 duplex auto
 speed auto
 ipv6 address 2001:2::2/64
 ipv6 address FE80::2 link-local
 ipv6 ospf 1 area 0
end

R3 Configuration:

R3#sho run int f0/0
Building configuration...

Current configuration : 153 bytes
!
interface FastEthernet0/0
 no ip address
 duplex auto
 speed auto
 ipv6 address 2001:3::3/64
 ipv6 address FE80::3 link-local
 ipv6 ospf 1 area 0
end

Checking routes on R2:

R2#sho ipv6 ospf ne   

Neighbor ID     Pri   State           Dead Time   Interface ID    Interface

Trying to ping 2001:3::3 from R2:

R2#ping 2001:3::3

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 2001:3::3, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 8/20/56 ms
R2#

Adjacency is establishing and able to ping because neighbors are known by their router-ids. Link-local addresses are used as next-hops, not actual interface address.
