Hi,

I don't think that's supposed to work in the first place. Without having an
address of the same prefix you try to reach you would need a first hop through
some router. Multiple prefixes, even when on the same L2 link, are considered
separate logical networks and you need some point to connect those logically
too. Either by having an IP of that network configured yourself, or by using a
router that connects to those networks.

Is there a specific reason why multiple prefixes exists on one L2 link without
using RAs? Any specific reason why using an IP of the other prefix is no
alternative to static routes?
