Note: Compliance with RFC 4291—EX Series switches drop the following types of illegal IPv6 packets:

Packets that have a link-local source or destination address. Because link-local addresses are intended to be used for addressing only on a single link, EX Series switches do not forward any packets with such addresses to other links.
Packets with the IPv6 unspecified source address 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0.
Packets that are to be sent outside a node but have the IPv6 loopback address 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 as the source address. When IPv6 packets are received on an interface, EX Series switches drop packets that have the loopback address as the destination address.
