Ok, but the numbers are tied to the hardware. To the MAC. It is not an address you define. And does not work on firefox, for instance.
It is possible to change it. For example, with my pfSense router, the gateway address is fe80::1:1. However, MAC addresses are commonly used to form the link local address.
Why use a link-local address on the router or anywhere, if Firefox refuses to work with them? They are problematic. My printer uses one, I can not assign another. It is not reachable over IPv6 because of that. A decade old bug. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
