IPv6 in the enterprise

[Matthew Huff]

Got a few quick questions about best practices in a corporate environment.

1) Is there a the consensus about using First-Hop Redundancy protocols versus RA (HSRP, VRRP, GLBP). I assume the main reason for using them is faster failover and more control (priority, timers, etc..)

2) For first-hop interfaces on access switches, do people use eui-64 addresses or static? What about HSRP,VRRP,GLBP virtual interfaces. Since these will show up in monitoring systems (OpenView, OpenNMS, etc..) should they be static with reverse dns lookups configured?

3) If using static addresses what link local addresses are people using? ::FFFF:FFFF:FFFE? Or ::0000:0000:0001 ? or something else?
