The link-local addresses are not "bothering" me, link-local just creates a potential issue on my WAN network, which is not only made up of my routers/devices but also customer routers/devices. Said devices are being supplied with a Static IP address, but lets say an end-user decided to enable link-local on their device, thus allowing them to bypass the firewall rules, speed restrictions, etc that are all in place based on IP address.
Being able to simply disable link-local would be a quick and easy solution to this, but seeing as that is not an option that leaves me with either running a script to remove the link-local addresses that are created after a reboot, or adding in firewall rules to block all link-local traffic, which I understand is not a big undertaking at all. The point of this thread was just to find out if I was missing the option to disable link-local or if MT just did not have it, which that question has been answered.
