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 C: Source Link-layer Address Option

HUT should respond to the second Echo Request using TR2 as a first hop, indicating the
HUT ignored the invalid option and processed the Redirect message.
