Solicited-Node Multicast Address Format The solicited-node multicast address the switch generates for a configured unicast or anycast address is composed of a unique, 104-bit multicast prefix (ff02:0:0:0:0:1:ff) and the last 24 bits of the subject address.

For example, the following prefix indicates multicast traffic with a tempo-
rary multicast address and a link-local scope:
ff12 or (binary) 1111 1111 0001 0010
group identifier:
This field includes the last 112 bits of the multicast
address and contains the actual multicast group identity. (Refer to RFCs
3306, 4291, and 2375.)
Solicited-Node Multicast Address Format
The solicited-node multicast address the switch generates for a configured
unicast or anycast address is composed of a unique, 104-bit multicast prefix
(ff02:0:0:0:0:1:ff) and the last 24 bits of the subject address. For example, if a
VLAN interface is configured with a link-local address of
fe90::215:60ff:fe7a:adc0
then the corresponding solicited-node multicast address is
ff02:0:0:0:0:1:ff7a:adc0
