Hi, For a end-device (a host), if the interface connecting to IPv6 network is configured with IPv6 global address, then automatic configuration of link-local address is mandatory for that interface? Consider the host is being statically configured with IPv6 default gateway address.
Without the presence of link-local address on interface, whether any functionality or IPv6 conformance issue would arise? So, for DAD it would use unspecified address (::) as source address, for Address resolution it would use the IPv6 global address, no need of router discovery / prefix discovery in this host and applications would use global address. In this case, presence of link-local address is necessary? Thanks, Prabhu H
