Take a look at the unicast address Figures in the following link:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios123/123cgcr/ipv6_
c/sa_bconn.htm#wp1027186

You will notice that the 16-bit subnet ID or Site-Level Aggregator (SLA) is
the 16 bits just before the Interface ID of 64 bits.

So if you want to set these bits to 172 - you would do:

FEC0:0:0:AC::4/64

Placing 172 in any other field - you are not hitting the exact SLA field you
are after.
