reachable from other networks.

default link local and Multicast addresses, the device also automatically
adds global addresses to the interface based on the router advertisements
it receives. The device supports a maximum of 128 addresses at the
interface. Each address must be a valid IPv6 address that is specified in
hexadecimal format by using 16-bit values separated by colons.
