[j-nsp] Link local address errors when committing VRRP for inet6

[Morgan McLean]

I ended up setting virtual-link-local-address fe80::1 and an interface
using fe80::0/10, which I guess is the link local designed range so I found
after more googling.

What exactly is the purpose of this? I'll use /64's for all the ipv6
interfaces I'll have to configure this with, not /10, that was just for
testing...

Thanks,
Morgan
