[j-nsp] LSP's with IPV6 on Juniper

[craig washington]

Hello all.

Wondering if anyone is using MPLS with IPV6?

I have read on 6PE and the vpn counterpart but these all seem to take into account that the CORE isn't running IPV6?

My question is how can we get the ACTUAL IPV6 loopback addresses into inet6.3 table? Would I need to do a rib import for directly connected?

If you run "ipv6-tunneling" this seems to only work if the next-hop is an IPV4 address. (next-hop self)

I also messed around with changing the next-hop on the v6 export policy to the IPV4 loopback and this works too but figured there should be a different way?

So overall, I am trying to find a way for v6 routes to use the same LSP's as v4 without changing the next hop to a v4 address.

Hope this makes sense 😊


Any feedback is much appreciated.
