Q
  1. Why is IPv6 needed in the world today? A. It does not require NAT to operate.
    B. The IPv4 address space is exhausted.
    C. IPv4 is considered legacy, and IPv6 is the replacement.
    D. IPv6 does not require subnetting.
A
  1. B. IPv4 allows for 232 = 4.3 billion addresses. However, only 3.7 billion are usable, because of reservations and classful addressing. The current IPv4 address space is
    128 38 exhausted and IPv6 allows for 2 = 3.4 × 10 .
162
Q
  1. How many bits is an IPv6 address?
    A. 32 bits B. 64bits C. 128 bits
    D. 256bits
A
  1. C. An IPv6 address is 128 bits: 64 bits is the network ID, and 64 bits is the host ID.
163
Q
  1. You have two facilities and both use IPv6 addressing internally. However, both facilities are connected to the Internet via IPv4. What is one recommended method you can use to communicate between the facilities over the Internet?
    A. Dedicatedleasedline B. Frame Relay
    C. Dual stack
    D. 6to4tunnel
A
  1. D. A 6to4 tunnel can be achieved between the routers. This encapsulates the IPv6 header in an IPv4 header so that it can be routed across the Internet.
164
Q
  1. Which command is required on a router to support IPv6 static addressing?
    A. Router(config)#ipv6 address B. Router(config)#ipv6 routing C. Router(config)#ipv6 enable
    D. Router(config)#ipv6 unicast-routing
A
  1. D. In order to enable IPv6 on a router, you must globally configure the router with the command ipv6 unicast-routing. Although ipv6 enable will work, it will allow only link-local addressing.
165
Q
  1. Which command would you use on an interface to set the IPv6 address?
    A. Router(config-if)#ip address 2001:0db8:85aa:0000:0000:8a2e:1343:1337
    B. Router(config-if)#ipv6 address 2001:0db8:85aa:0000:0000:8a2e:1343:1337 C. Router(config-if)#ip address 2001:0db8:85aa:0000:0000:8a2e:1343:1337/64
    D. Router(config-if)#ipv6 address 2001:0db8:85aa:0000:0000:8a2e:1343:1337/64
A
  1. D. When you configure routers, always use the rule of major/minor. The major protocol is ipv6, and the minor command is address. So the correct command is ipv6 address 2001:0db8:85aa:0000:0000:8a2e:1343:1337/64. The additional rule is to specify the network portion with a /64.
166
Q
  1. Which field of the IPv6 header allows for a dual-stack host to decide which stack to process the packet in?
    A. Version field B. Flow label
    C. Source address
    D. Destination address
A
  1. A. The first 4 bits of an IPv6 header contain the version number. In an IPv4 packet, this is set to 0100, but in an IPv6 packet, this number is set to 0110. This allows for the host to decide which stack to process the packet in.
167
Q
  1. Which command would set the IPv6 default route for a router to interface s0/0?
    A. Router(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0/0 s0/0
    B. Router(config)#ipv6 route 0.0.0.0/0 s0/0
    C. Router(config)#ipv6 unicast-route ::0/0 s0/0
    D. Router(config)#ipv6 route ::0/0 s0/0
A
  1. D. When you configure routers, always use the rule of major/minor. The major protocol is ipv6 and the minor command is route. So the correct command is ipv6 route ::0/0 s0/0, specifying the ::0/0 s0/0 to mean everything out of the existing interface of s0/0.
168
Q
  1. You want to see all of the interfaces on a router configured with IPv6. Which

    B. Solicit,Advertise,Request,Reply
    C. NeighborSolicitation,NeighborAdvertisement
    D. RouterSolicitation,RouterAdvertisement
A
  1. B. Stateful DHCPv6 uses a process similar to DORA for IPv4. However, IPv6 uses multicast in lieu of broadcasts via the DHCPv6 Solicit multicast address.
190
Q
  1. When SLAAC is performed on an IPv6 host, which process happens first?
    A. A Router Solicitation message is sent from the client.
    B. A Router Advertisement message is sent from the router. C. A link-local address is auto-configured on the client.
    D. DAD is performed on the IPv6 address.
A
  1. C. Before a host can communicate via an RS packet, it first needs a valid IP address. The first address is a link-local address so that it can send an RS packet and receive an RA packet. The client performs DAD on both the link-local address and the proposed address.

206. Which type of automatic address assignment will not allow for EUI-64 addressing?
A. Static addressing
B. SLAAC addressing
C. Stateful DHCPv6 addressing
D. Stateless DHCPv6 addressing
A
  1. C. Stateful DHCPv6 addressing will not allow EUI-64 addressing. This is because the DHCPv6 server is responsible for allocating an IPv6 address from a predefined pool.
207
Q
  1. Which type of address always uses the EUI-64 addressing mechanism?
    A. Link-local addresses
    B. Global unicast addresses C. SLAAC addresses
    D. Anycast addresses
A
  1. A. Link-local addresses starting with fe80::/10 always configure the host portion of the address with an EUI-64 address. Note that Microsoft products default to a random host ID and can be configured to generate the host ID with EUI-64.

Q
  1. You have been given an IPv6 address of 2030:3454:aabb::/64. What can you conclude?
    A. The IP address is a unique-local address.
    B. The IP has been given to you by the Regional Internet Registry. C. The IP has been given to you by the Internet service provider.
    D. The IP has been given to you by IANA.
A
  1. C. The IPv6 address has been given to you by the ISP with your company’s unique identifier. The first 32 bits are allocated to the ISPs, and they in turn add a unique 16-bit address for your company. This makes 32 bits + 16 bits = 48 bits. You have 16 bits for subnetting after the first 48 bits to make a full 64-bit network ID.
209
Q
  1. You are using the EUI-64 method of allocating the host portion of the IPv6 addresses. The MAC address of the host is 401e:32e4:ff03. What is the correct IP address that will be calculated for a network ID of fd00:3:3::?
    A. fd00:3:3::fffe:421e:32e4:ff03/64 B. fd00:3:3::421e:32ff:fee4:ff03/64 C. fd00:3:3::401e:32ff:fee4:ff03/64
    D. fd00:3:3::421e:32ff:ffe4:ff03/64
A
  1. B. When converting a MAC address to an EUI-64 host address, the first step is to split the MAC address into 6-byte sections of 401e32 and e4ff03 and place fffe in between them: 401e:32ff:fee4:ff03. This gives you a 64-bit value comprised of a 48 bit MAC address and a 16 bit filler. You must then invert “flip” the 7th bit. Example: 40 = 0100 000 = flipped = 0100 0010 = 42.
210
Q 
210. Which is a valid unique-local address?
A. fec0:1111:2e3c:eab3::5/64
B. fe80:d2e1:e24:63::25/64
C. fd00:1edc:bae:eea4::2478/64
D. fc00:4fec:ecf2:343::e44/64
A
  1. C. Although the unique-local address scope is defined as fc00::/7, RFC 4193 states that the 8th bit must equal a one for the local (L) bit. This requires the address to always start with fd which in binary is 1111 = f and 1101 = d or 1111 1101 = fd.
