The device has a trap for IPv6 packets that need be routed and have a unicast link-local destination IP (i.e., fe80::/10). This allows mlxsw to ignore link-local routes, as the packets will be trapped to the CPU in any case. However, since link-local routes are not programmed, it is possible for routed packets to hit the default route which might also be programmed to trap packets. This means that packets with a link-local destination IP might be trapped for the wrong reason. To overcome this, allow programming link-local prefix routes (usually one fe80::/64 per-table), so that the packets will be forwarded until reaching the link-local trap.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
