Re: ipv4 route with ipv6 local link nexthop ?

Hi Zhenlei,

Thanks for testing;, I was about to start a vm for it. The workaround works as well. I

It seems the same issue when you want to set a route on a n interface that doesn't have any IPs.

eg.` route add -net 10.200.1.1/32 -iface vlan200` will not work without adding an IPv4 to the interface.
