General • Re: How to use fe80::1 (IPv6 Link-Local) via VRRP to provide redundant default GW?

I think you should use ULA (Unique Local Address) for this...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_local_address
No, they serve a different purpose. ULAs are routable addresses and thus cannot be the same for multiple segments, like link-locals can.
I have plenty global unicast addresses. But I explicitly want to achieve a uniform default gateway address.

Actually that IPv6 address is only used to find the MAC address of the segment router, nothing more.
IPv6 ND is used to determine which MAC address to send any non-local traffic to. So having a link-local address serve this purpose makes sense.
