Part of the magic of IPv6 is it seems to try to do away with all the magical broadcast-using-0.0.0.0 stuff (think DHCP). You get a ULA one wot starts fe80, and use that locally. Then, you can get a global address too. IPv6 was built with multiple addresses per interface in mind. So, I'd say part of using IPv6 is having that funky address hanging around.
It's easily removed though. It might not upset my using the device for PPP, but not having it just seems "cleaner".
Hmm.. With PPP, the two peers agree on their interface IDs (I guess kinda like a MAC address), and then derive their ULAs based on that.. Then, if stuff like DHCP-PD is in use over the link, the ULA is used for that.. Probably safer to leave it there and to filter it if it is a security concern.. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
