ipv6 address auto link-local
Auto generation of the IPv6 link-local address is enabled.
Or
Run:
ipv6 address
ipv6-address
link-local
The IPv6 link-local address is manually configured.
Besides configuring a link-local address through the preceding two commands, you can also
configure a global unicast IPv6 address for auto generating a link-local address. For details, see

3.3.4 Configuring an IPv6 Global Unicast Address for an Interface
A global unicast IP address is equal to an Internet IPv4 address and can be used for links whose
route prefixes can be aggregated. In this manner, routing entries can be reduced.
Procedure
Step 1
Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2
Run:
interface
interface-type interface-number
The interface view is displayed.
Step 3
Run:
ipv6 address
{
ipv6-address prefix-length
|
ipv6-address
/
prefix-length
} or
ipv6
address
{
ipv6-address prefix-length
|
ipv6-address
/
prefix-length
}

3.3.5 Configuring an IPv6 Anycast Address for an Interface
An anycast address is used to identify a group of interfaces.
Context
Anycast addresses and unicast addresses are in the same address range. An anycast address is
used to identify a group of interfaces on different nodes.
l
Similar to a multicast address, an anycast address is listened to by multiple nodes.
Therefore, it is only used as a destination address.
l
The packets destined for an anycast address are transmitted to an interface that is in the
interface group identified by the anycast address and is closest to the source node. (The
distance between an interface and the source node is calculated based on the routing
