Sure, if you have access to all the kit, you can manage via link local, no need 
to configure anything specific.

This would mean though that you have to be on the router in order to reach the CPE.

The alternative is to use ULA (RFC4193) as global but this could be problematic as you deploy
v6 authentic global addresses to your clients, they will want real addressing, you would have to overlap.

Now, if we hadn't deprecated the site local scope.......

Good luck, and hope you get better :)
