The interface identifier is a 64-bit long modified EUI-64, which is based on the MAC
address of the interface
If IPv6 is enabled on an interface, the system will automatically add a link-local address to
the interface. Link-local addresses can only be used to communicate with other hosts on the
same link, and packets with link-local addresses are never forwarded by a router.
A link-local address, which may not be removed, is required for proper IPv6 operation. The
link-local addresses start with "fe80::", and are combined with the interface identifier to
form the complete address.
