Does anyone actually believe that the above is user-friendly and will work in real life? Using link-local for this kind of end-user administration of their equipment is doomed to fail. There needs to be a procedure for devices which are going to get DHCP-PD from the provider, that they have a certain prefix they use until they actually get the real PD prefix, so end user dns etc works so it's easy to do administration of the device.
Last 3 cheap routers. BIG STICKER: INSTALL SOFTWARE BEFORE YOU PLUG THIS ROUTER IN! I doubt many users even use the old "goto http://192.168.1.1/" anymore. That being said, there are private addressing schemes in IPv6 as well. No reason one could be bound to a cpe router with an easy to type address. Jack
