Description

When using a DHCPv6 WAN, apinger sets the srcip to be the interface link-local address but it does not set the scope on the source IP or target, so apinger cannot reach the gateway.

Log message (IPv6 addresses masked):

Oct 31 08:25:13 pfs22 apinger: Could not bind socket on address(fe80::a00:27ff:xxxx:xxxx) for monitoring address fe80::240:48ff:xxxx:xxxx(WAN_DHCP6) with error Can't assign requested address

Broken configuration made currently (IPv6 addresses masked):

target "fe80::240:48ff:xxxx:xxxx" {
    description "WAN_DHCP6" 
    srcip "fe80::a00:27ff:xxxx:xxxx" 
    alarms override "loss","delay","down";
    rrd file "/var/db/rrd/WAN_DHCP6-quality.rrd" 
}

Working hand-edited version (IPv6 addresses masked):

target "fe80::240:48ff:xxxx:xxxx%em0" {
    description "WAN_DHCP6" 
    srcip "fe80::a00:27ff:xxxx:xxxx%em0" 
    alarms override "loss","delay","down";
    rrd file "/var/db/rrd/WAN_DHCP6-quality.rrd" 
}

Source IP is scoped now but it still is not showing "online" - In my testing from earlier it looks like the target needs scoped, too. (See my example above)

Looks good now, gateway shows online at boot time and still shows online across several reboots. Thanks!
