Q

A special anycast address in each IPv6 subnet, reserved for use by routers as a way to send a packet to any router on the subnet. The address’s value in each subnet is the same as the subnet ID

A

subnet router anycast address

Q

Describe the EUI-64 process

A

The eui-64 process is a method used to derive unique interface ID for global unicast, unique local, and link-local IPv6 address. The process requires: 1. Splitting the MAC address at the 24th bit boundary 2. Inserting hex FFFE 3. Inverting the 7th bit of the MAC address The resulting 64 bit value is added to the provided prefix, resulting in a complete IPv6 address

Q

An IPv6 address is configured on a working interface. What functions does a router enable once this occurs?

A
  1. Gives the interface a unicast IPv6 address 2. Enables routing of packets in/out of that interface 3. Defines the subnet that now exists off that interface 4. Adds connected IPv6 route to the routing table

Q

What is the forwarding scope of a link-local IPv6 address.

A

Forwarding scope is link-local only; routers will not route packets destined to a link-local address to other links.

Q

Link-local addresses might be automatically generated by a host; what function does this serve?

A

Solves some initialization problems before the host has global unicast address

Q

The prefix of an IPv6 link-local address will be FE80::/10, with the next 54 bits expressed as binary 0. How is the interface ID of a link-local addresses derived?

A

It may be manually configured or automatically generated, including by EUI-64

Q

In designing a new subnet for an IPv6 network, it’s determined that the subnet needs to utilize unique local addressing. Describe the process for generating a unique local address.

A
  1. Use FD as first 2 hext digits (8 bits)
  2. Choose unique 40-bit global ID (random process!)
  3. Combine 1&2 to obtain prefix
  4. Use next 16 bits as subnet field
  5. The remaining 64 bits are available as interface ID
