For some reason, not all routers running olsr2 are reachable via IPv6. As far as we found out, this is related to the setting "WDS bridge" on Ubiquiti-Antennas running AirOS 6 or earlier (with must be enabled). So in case there's a node listed in the "olsr2 cloud", a missing WDS-bridge-enabled setting could cause that the node is not available (highlighted blue in the listing and map).<br>

yeah, "WDS" must always be enabled on all bridges (in some AirOs<br>
versions is called "Transparent bridge mode") or funny things happen in<br>
IPv6 world<br>
</blockquote>
I don’t know AirOS, but I guess if disabled, it filters ethernet multicast, this kills neighbour discovery, which is essential for normal IPv6 operation.<br>
If you debug IPv6, please take into account the subtile differences between IPv4 and IPv6 on layer two.<br>

Multicast is not the only problem. Since AirOS is used in bridged mode, you'd then have 'foreign' MAC addresses leaving the Wireless Interface.<br>
This is, what WDS is usually for: it resembles 4-address mode, that rewrites packets.<br>
<br>
The effect of using a non-WDS-bridge would be, that ip neigh show would list the neighbours correctly, but all of them will be STALE in the first place.<br>
If you try to ping them, you will fail, which will be represented by a FAILED link in die neighbour table.<br>
The funny thing is, that you could still ping6 the link local address from a direct 1 hop neighbour.<br>
<br>
So you may be lead to believe it's a mere multicast problem. But debugging that, you will see, that proxying the multicast won't help.<br>
The problem resides in NDP failing to resolve devices behind the bridge, since it will only discover the wrong originator MAC - that is the one of the AP on non-WDS-enabled devices.<span class=""><br>
