Test v6LC.2.3.6 - Redirected to Alternate Router: Invalid (Hosts Only)
Part A: Redirect Source Address is Global
Verify that a host properly processes invalid Redirect messages when redirected on-link.
* [ND] Sections 4.5 and 8.1
* [ICMPv6] Section 2.4
* Packet generator
* Monitor to capture packets
The following setup procedure is performed before each Part:
a) Perform Common Setup 1.1.
b) TR2 transmits an Echo Request to the HUT's link-local address. TR2 responds to any
Neighbor Solicitations from the HUT with a Neighbor Advertisement with the solicited bit set to
1 causing the HUT to update it's NCE for TR2 to sate REACHABLE.
The Common Test Cleanup Procedure is performed after each part.
Part A: Redirect Source Address is Global
1. TR1 forwards an Echo Request from TN1 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 link-local address of TR2. The Redirect message
contains an incorrect IPv6 Source Address (the off-link global address of TN2).
4. TR1 forwards an Echo Request from TN1 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.
Parts A-I
In all Parts, the HUT should respond to the first Echo Request using TR1 as a first hop. The
HUT should also respond to the second Echo Request using TR1 as a first hop, indicating the
HUT did not process the invalid Redirect message.
* None.
