Hi,

I quoted this paragraph from RFC4291:

   For all unicast addresses, except those that start with the binary
   value 000, Interface IDs are required to be 64 bits long and to be
   constructed in Modified EUI-64 format.

But I am not sure how to interpret the text in  a correct way.

If I assign an ordinary unicast address (except reserved anycast
addresses mentioned in RFC5453) to an interface and the address
doesn't start with 000, MUST the prefix be 64 bits? MUST the IID be
constructed in Modified EUI-64 format?

We are providing WebUI for our customer to manually assign IPv6
addresses, we want to do hygiene check before the actual move.

Thanks in advance
