AFAIK, Vmware does not support link-local interfaces. But in practice, in my Vmware based zone, the SSVM and CPVM did not contain this interface. But the VR not only created this interface. but the ip address is in the same vlan with private ip network. and I can login to VR by ssh with the link-local ip address.
according the wiki item, "Link-local addresses for IPv4 are defined in the address block 169.254.0.0/16". why the link-local address of VR was not in this subnet? why vmware can create the link-local interface for VR but SSVM and CPVM? ---- best regards
