In short, locally assigned addresses should have a /128 route to loopback. The on-link prefix (/64) should have a /64 route to Ethernet. Off-link prefixes should not have routes, except a default or a 2000::/3 route to the link-local address of the gateway. Global address of the gateway also works, but is deprecated and is easier to get broken. > > traceroute6 fe80::2d0:70ff:fe01:811b > connect: Invalid argument ping6 -I eth0 fe80::2d0:70ff:fe01:811b With link-local addresses, the interface must always be specified, in some way or another. When that works, try ping6'ing the global address of your gateway. If that doesn't work, most probably your gateway has wrong routes pointing towards your system (and return packets get lost).
