Q

What are the two rules for compacting IPv6 addresses?

A

Leading 0’s in eash segment do not need to be written and any single, contiguous string of one or more 16-bit segments consisting of all zeroes can be represented with a double colon.

Q

Why is it illegal to use more than one double colon in an IPv6 address?

A

it would cause the result to be ambiguous. You would not be able to tell how many segments are represented.

Q

In what way is the IPv6 Next Header field like the IPv4 Protocol Number field, and in what way is it different?

A

I defines the upper level header is following like IPv4 or if an extension header is following (IPv6 only)

18
Q

How do extension headers make IPv6 packets more efficient?

A

Only header information required is included and new extension headers can be developed.

19
Q

What is the Next Header value of ICMPv6?

A

58

20
Q

What is the significant difference between IPv4 fragmentation and IPv6 fragmentation?

A

Only originating nodes can fragment. Routers do no fragment.

21
Q

What two steps does MAC-to-EUI64 conversion use to derive an Interface ID?

A

It inserts 0xFFFE in the middle of a MAC address then flips the U/L bit (7th bit in the MAC Address) to 1 to create the 64-bit Interface ID from a 48-bit MAC address

22
Q

What is a privacy address?

A

One where the Interface ID is randomly generated.

23
Q

What type of IPv6 address is ::/128?

A

Unspecified

24
Q

What type of IPv6 address is ::1/128?

A

Loopback

25
Q

What type of IPv6 address is FF00::/8?

A

Multicast

26
Q

What type of IPv6 address is FFC0::/10?

A

Site-Local Unicast

27
Q

What type of IPv6 address is 2xxx::/4 or 3xxx::/4?

A

Global Unicast (Currently allocated)

28
Q

What type of IPv6 address is ::/0?

A

Default address

29
Q

How do you recognize an IPv6 global unicast address in binary?

A

the high-order bits are 001

30
Q

What is IPv6 address FF02::1?

A

All nodes multicast

31
Q

What is IPv6 address FF02::2?

A

All routers multicast

Q

What is IPv6 address FF02::9?

A

RIPng routers multicast

35
Q

What is IPv6 address FF02::A?

A

EIGRP routers multicast

36
Q

What is IPv6 address FF02::B?

A

Mobile agents multicast

37
Q

What is IPv6 address FF02::C?

A

DHCP Servers/Relay Agents multicast

38

A

All PIM routers multicast

39
Q

What command enables IPv6 routing?

A

ipv6 unicast-routing

40
