It is certainly possible but it is not required to be possible. The
standards require an interface to have AT LEAST one link local address
and having just one satisfies that requirement. There are some platforms
such as IOS which will allow you to have only one link local.
>Now can I delete the auto configured link local address (addr1) ??
Yes. How you do it depends on your platform. Let's say you were using
linux you could use the following commands
#ifconfig <interface_name> add <addr2>
#ifconfig <interface_name> del <addr1>
to accomplish what you wanted.
