I have a question about the prefixes being used in the show ipv6 route example on page 757.

I thought link-local addresses had a prefix of FF80::/10. The examples on page 757 start with the examples and documentation prefix of 2001:DB8:...yadda yadda.

Could somebody explain this and maybe shed a little more light on how the prefix works?

Prefixes beginning with 2000::/3 are global IPv6 addresses, not link local addresses.
