Not able to configure IPv6 bootprelay

Rom1 — Tue, 12 Feb 2019 14:55:37 GMT

Hi,

code:

# configure bootprelay ipv6 add fe80::21b:21ff:febc:798c%skat2-in
                                ^
%% Invalid IPv6 address detected at '^' marker.

# show version | include XOS
Image  : ExtremeXOS version 15.5.2.9 v1552b9-patch1-5 by release-manager

Why not?

Regards, Roman

What's that %skat2-in at the end of the IPv6 address.

The interface, certainly.

I understand that it is impossible to specify the link-local address. Most likely there it is necessary to specify the gobal-scope address.
But why is it not mentioned in the documentation?
