access the Switch. So its Ethernet interface identifier is %4 and will be used later to
make a ping.
2 Check the Switch IPv6 address(es) you want to ping. In this example, there are two IPv6
addresses in VLAN 1. One is a link-local address (fe80::219:cbff:fe00:1/64) and the
other one is a global address (2001::1234/64).
3 In order to access the Switch through its link-local address, do the address convertion
(See Table 94 on page 159).
3a Use a dash “-” to replace each colon “:” in an IPv6 address. Then the address
becomes:
fe80--219-cbff-fe00-1
3b In the step 1, the Ethernet interface identifier you want to use to connect to the
Switch is “%4”. Replace the percentage character “%” with “s” and then append it to
the address. The address becomes:
fe80--219-cbff-fe00-1s4
3c Append “.ipv6-literal.net” at the end. The address becomes:
fe80--219-cbff-fe00-1s4.ipv6-literal.net
