Hey, just checking as I don’t have any Cisco or Extreme or Juniper gear running 
IS-IS to verify myself…

On current Arista (7280SR2K) and older Brocade (MLXe) routers, the IPv6 
next-hop address in IS-IS seems to always be the link-local address of the 
neighbour, instead of any manually-assigned address on the interface. I believe 
this is *not* the case with Cisco, in particular.  Not sure about other 
vendors, I don’t have any handy that can run IS-IS.  I don’t appear to have any 
knobs to control this behaviour, and haven’t found anything related in the docs.

Can anyone confirm that Cisco or other vendors does/do not do this (prefer LLA 
over GUA)?

Thanks,
-Adam
