It's fundamental to IPv6. Replaces ARP in IPv4, amongst other things. > Tore, interesting....what device? Wonder why they changed the requirement. This was on a MX, but I'm pretty sure the requirement was dropped from EX too. I bet the reason they dropped it is that they realised it is perfectly possible to automatically generate them, and no need for manual config. The primary ones on the interface is simply the EUI-64 derived-ones that's always there anyway, while the virtual link-local address is also derived from EUI-64 but using the VRRP VMAC as input.
