-Link Local—The IPv6 address uniquely identifies hosts on a single
network link. A link local address has a prefix of FE80, is not routable, and
can be used for communication only on the local network. Only one link
local address is supported. If a link local address exists on the interface,
this entry replaces the address in the configuration.
-Global—The IPv6 address is a global Unicast IPV6 type that is visible and
reachable from other networks.

interface through which it is received.
