$f(m+n)=f(m)+f(n),f(6)=18\\$

$Put\; m=n=3;\\$

$f(6)=f(3)+f(3)=18\\$

$\Rightarrow f(3)=9\\$ ....(1)

$Put\; m=4,n=2\\$

$f(6)=f(4)+f(2)=18\\$

Also put $m=n=2\\$

$\Rightarrow f(4)=f(2)+f(2)=2f(2)\\$

$\Rightarrow f(6)=f(2)+f(2)+f(2)=18\\$

$\Rightarrow 3f(2)=18\Rightarrow f(2)=6\\$ ..........(2)

$f(2)\cdot f(3)=9\times6=54$
