OSPFv3 uses link-local addresses, while OSPFv2 uses regular addresses. Loopback has regular address (both IPv4 and IPv6) but does not have link-local address, so it is skipped by OSPFv3 iface scanning code. Perhaps it will work if you attach link-local address to it. -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'Santiago' Zajicek (email: [email protected]) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
