fe80::1 is the router, it's quite a common address to use. See for instance:
That use is for default route redundancy, where the routers are assigned a virtual address, which 2 or more routers can respond to. Typically one does all the work, with the other on standby, ready to take over when the first fails. Read up on HSRP and VRRP for more info. Are you setting up redundant paths? When I look at my own network, the router has the regular link local address, which the other devices use for routing and also a global unicast address ending in ::1. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
