HI guys,
I'm very unclear about when I need to use the eui-64 or link-local options
when configuring an ipv6 address.
For example, what's the difference between the following 2 options?
Rack1R1(config-if)#ipv6 address fec0:157:1:14::/64 ?
eui-64 Use eui-64 interface identifier
<cr>
If I just hit enter <cr>, what will be the value of the low 64 bit's?
Also, regarding the link local option, I understand that ipv6 will
automatically generate a link-local address from the site local or the
aggregatable global unicast address. So, why would I ever want to override
the auto generated link-local address?
Thanks for your help. I'm really struggling with this ipv6 stuff.
Tim
