due to the fact that I don't have physical equipment at the moment I don't know if what I am about to say is purely an issue with Packet Tracer.
I configured a Catalyst 2960 switch to allow for remote SSH connections.
interface Vlan1 no ip address ipv6 address FE80::2 link-local ipv6 address 2001:DB8:ACAD::2/64 ipv6 enable ! I also configured a computer with the IPv6 Address 2001:DB8:ACAD::3/64 and the link local address FE80::1.
I can access the switch just fine through the global unicast address by doing ssh -L Admin01 2001:DB8:ACAD::2 in the virtual command prompt. I can also successfully ping the switch to the link local address by doing ping FE80::2. With all that said, I cannot SSH into the switch through the link local address.
