22.5 IPv6 Link-Local Address Setup
A link-local address uniquely identifies a device on the local network (the LAN). It is similar to a “private IP
address” in IPv4. You can have the same link-local address on multiple interfaces on a device. A link-
local unicast address has a predefined prefix of fe80::/10.
Use this screen to view and configure the interface’s link-local address and default gateway. Click
SYSTEM > IPv6 > IPv6 Addressing > IPv6 Link-Local Address Setup to display the screen as shown next.
Note: You should first create an IPv6 interface in the SYSTEM > Interface Setup screen.
