The interface for the router R1 will still be with the ipv6 addressing since, ipv6 also supports ipv4.
Whenever it receives a packet of type ipv4, it should be encapsulated into ipv6 at the IF1. To transmit a packet out for ipv4, the ipv6 packet from IF1 will again be transmitted as an ipv4 packed instead of ipv6. The ipv6 provides compatibility between the other version, and hence should not pose any conflict.

If R2 is simple IPV4 router. so in the above case, should the interface address at R1 (IF1) be of IPV4 address, since it is connecting to another router "R2" which is an IPV4 router.
