Sure, if you have access to all the kit, you can manage via link local, no need<BR>
to configure anything specific.<BR>
<BR>
This would mean though that you have to be on the router in order to reach the CPE.<BR>
<BR>
The alternative is to use ULA (RFC4193) as global but this could be problematic as you deploy<BR>
v6 authentic global addresses to your clients, they will want real addressing, you would have to overlap.<BR>
<BR>
Now, if we hadn't deprecated the site local scope.......<BR>
