Question

A network technician runs 'ipconfig' on a Windows workstation and sees an IPv6 address of fe80::a1b2:c3d4:e5f6:7890 assigned to the Ethernet adapter, in addition to a global address. The workstation can ping other devices on the same VLAN using this fe80 address but cannot use it to reach a server in a remote subnet. Which statement correctly explains the fe80 address?
