Type: Technical
Reported by: Quentin Armitage <quen...@armitage.org.uk>

Section: 7.1

Original Text
-------------
 * It MUST verify that the VRID is configured on the receiving
   interface and the local router is not the IPvX address owner
   (Priority = 255 (decimal)).

If any one of the above checks fails, the receiver MUST discard the
packet, SHOULD log the event (subject to rate-limiting), and MAY
indicate via network management that an error occurred.

Corrected Text
--------------
 * It MUST verify that the VRID is configured on the receiving
   interface and the local router is not the IPvX address owner
   (Priority = 255 (decimal)).

 * If the received packet is an IPv6 packet, then:
    - It MUST verify that the first address in the IPvX Address(es)
      field is an IPv6 link-local address.

If any one of the above checks fails, the receiver MUST discard the
packet, SHOULD log the event (subject to rate-limiting), and MAY
indicate via network management that an error occurred.

Notes
-----
The change only adds checking that the first IPv6 address is link-local.

Section 5.2.9 states:
For IPv6, the first address MUST be the IPv6 link-local address associated with 
the Virtual Router.

Section 6.1 also states (although this may relate to the configuration rather 
than the VRRP packet contents):
IPv6_Addresses    One or more IPv6 addresses associated with this Virtual 
Router. Configured list of addresses with no default. The first address MUST be 
the Link-Local address associated with the Virtual Router.

Instructions:
-------------
This erratum is currently posted as "Reported". (If it is spam, it 
will be removed shortly by the RFC Production Center.) Please
use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or
rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party  
will log in to change the status and edit the report, if necessary.
