      My ISP uses separate PPPoE sessions for IPv4 and IPv6.

      I configured the em0, pppoe0, and WAN interfaces for IPv4 and the em0, pppoe1, and OPT1 interfaces for IPv6. (2.8.0-RELEASE)

      In the OPT1 interface status, IPv6 Link Local displayed "fe80::XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX%pppoe1". However, in the WAN interface status, IPv6 Link Local displayed "fe80::XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX%em0".

      "fe80::XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX%em0" is the IPv6 Link Local for the em0 interface.

      In WAN Interface Status, shouldn't IPv6 Link Local show "fe80::XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX%pppoe0"?

        @azalea You can read more about the specific notation you're asking about, the zone index, in this Wikipedia subsection of the "IPv6 address" article.
