Hi, I am not really an expert, but I think the "Local link" may use Loop back, instead of actually testing the Network / IPv6 stack. I have requested my network guru (james) to look at it. We are going to try with new OS also and will update. Here is some info for clarity...
James says... Link-local is the fe80 addresses that refer to devices on a particular data link, such as a single Ethernet network, or a point-to-point serial connection. If you're using your own link-local address, then yes, that traffic will - I believe - traverse the loopback interface. I've downloaded the beta version of Ubuntu 9 but haven't yet installed it. I've also got the most recent kernel source but keep running out of space trying to get it built and installed. ======= Yes, I have tried earlier with locallink. It works fine. here is my network info. r...@cspf1:~# ifconfig -a eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:56:b5:24:d9 inet addr:172.16.109.90 Bcast:172.16.0.0 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::250:56ff:feb5:24d9/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:3640571 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:639330 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:1420069146 (1.3 GB) TX bytes:194595857 (185.5 MB) Base address:0x1070 Memory:f4820000-f4840000 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:56:b5:52:c1 inet6 addr: fdf8:c879:493e:1:250:56ff:feb5:52c1/64 Scope:Global inet6 addr: fe80::250:56ff:feb5:52c1/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:3755999 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:146318 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:588116930 (560.8 MB) TX bytes:37499108 (35.7 MB) Base address:0x1078 Memory:f4840000-f4860000 r...@cspf1:~# scp /ifs/qa/Package/cc/Hunter/branch/build-6634/desktone.tar 172.16.109.90:/tmp The authenticity of host '172.16.109.90 (172.16.109.90)' can't be established.
