JUNOSe 11.0.x BGP and MPLS Configuration Guide
the route map can specify a global address, a link-local address, or both for the next
hop.
However, a neighbor outbound route map that adds a link-local IPv6 address for
peers where the router should not advertise a link-local next hop is considered an
invalid configuration.
The router accepts both global and link-local BGP IPv6 next-hop addresses received
from its BGP IPv6 peers. As a consequence, when advertising a route to an internal
peer, the router can modify the network address of the next-hop field by removing
the link-local IPv6 address of the next hop.
For static BGP peers, the JUNOSe software does not support the use of link-local
addresses when you configure BGP peers. You cannot configure the local interface
for a neighbor that has been configured with a link-local address. Although you can
configure a neighbor with a link-local address, a BGP session to that peer over TCP
IPv6 does not come up.
For dynamic BGP peers, an E Series router can accept incoming TCP sessions with
the link-local address as the source address. However, the BGP peering does not
come up for such a connection.
