Test Setup

  Common Setup 1.1 is performed at the beginning of each test part. The Common Test
  Cleanup Procedure is performed after each part.


Procedure

  Part A: Option Unrecognized
   1. TR1 forwards an Echo Request to the HUT. The Source Address is the off-link global address of
      TN1. The Destination Address is the global address of the HUT.
   2. Observe the packets transmitted by the HUT.
   3. TR1 transmits a Redirect message to the HUT. The ICMPv6 Destination Address is the global
      address of TN1. The Target Address is the global address of TN1. The Redirect message
      contains a Target Link-layer Address option. The Redirect message also contains an
      unrecognized option.
   4. TR1 forwards an Echo Request to the HUT. The Source Address is the off-link global address of
      TN1. The Destination Address is the global address of the HUT.
   5. Observe the packets transmitted by the HUT.


Observable Results

  Parts A-C
   In all Parts, the HUT should respond to the first Echo Request using TR1 as a first hop. The
   HUT should respond to the second Echo Request directly on-link to TN1, indicating the HUT
   processed the Redirect message.


Possible Problems

  * None.
