Frank,

Site local addresses do start with FEC0, but your example is a link-local.

Link local addresses are only reachable via that device and enabled for
testing local ipv6 traffic, and they begin FE80.

Regards

Lee.

This is what is confusing, when I look at the interface I see "link-local
address is FE80::20A:8AFF:FE83:1A40" but I thought that all site-local
addresses first 10 bits were FEC0?
