It goes like this way...

2001::/16 - IANA allocation control
2001:4830::/32 - Top Level Aggregator (TLA)
2001:4830:2110::/48 - Next-Level Aggregator (NLA)
2001:4830:2110:3030::/64 - Site-Level Aggregator (SLA)
2001:4830:2110:3030::1:1/128 - SLA -> Subnet ID of 1

The SLA is the /64 prefix length, which is the fourth octet of the v6 block.

So 3ffe:401d:DEAD:BEEF::/64 is an SLA, where as 3ffe:401d:DEAD::/48 is NLA.

So to answer DOiT lab's question, they specified site-local address which
starts with FEC0::/16 and requested that you use "A" for SLA which is the
fourth octet where /64s are.

So, so far this gives you fec0:0:0:a::/64.

They then said use subnet 7B to hold the router addrs at the end.
Just take the last octet before the host part, so fec:0:0:0:a::7b:1/125 as
an example.
