This type of IPv6 unicast address contains all zeros except for the last bit which is a 1

A

Loopback address

35
Q

Before a device can begin using it’s link-local address, it sends out an __________ __________ __________ to all devices on the link with it’s new address as the destination. If the device receives a response, it knows that the link-local local address is __________ __________ and needs to create another one.

A

All nodes multicast
In use

36
Q

IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are not __________

A

Compatible

37
Q

__________ is required to translate between IPv6 and IPv4 addresses

38
Q

Along with unicast, __________ is the second major classification of IPv6 address types

39
Q

IPv6 multicast addresses have what address and prefix?

40
Q

An IPv6 multicast address defines a group of devices known as a what?

This is equivalent to IPv4’s 224.0.0.0/4

A

Multicast group

41
Q

What are the two types of IPv6 multicast?

A

Assigned multicast
Solicited-node multicast

42
Q

Assigned multicast addresses are used in context with __________ __________

A

Specific protocols

43
Q

What two common IPv6 multicast groups are there?

44
Q

In addition to every unicast address assigned to an interface, a device has a special multicast address known as what?

A

Solicited node multicast address

45
Q

How are solicited node multicast addresses created?

By using a special mapping of the devices unicast address with the solicited node multicast prefix

46
Q

Solicited node multicast addresses are used for two essential IPv6 mechanisms for Neighbor Discovery Protocol. What are those essential mechanisms?

A

Address resolution
Duplicate address detection (DAD)

47

57
Q

What is the subnet hextet in this IPv6 address?

2001:db8:FF01:0001::1

58
Q

How would you subnet in a small to medium sized business?

A

Increment the least significant bits of the subnet ID and assign /64 subnets to your networks

Example:
2001:db8:a:0001::/64
2001:db8:a:0002::/64
2001:db8:a:0003::/64

etc…

59
Q

What is IPv6’s version of ARP?

A

Neighbor Discovery

60
Q

What version of OPSF supports IPv6?

61
Q

What two major transition strategies are currently used to migrate to IPv6?

A

Dual-Stacking
Tunneling

62
Q

Solve for definition:

In this transition strategy integration method, a node has implementation and connectivity to both an IPv4 and an IPv6 network. This is the recommended option and involve running IPv4 and IPv6 at the same time

A

Dual-Stacking

63
Q

Solve for definition:

This is a method used for transporting IPv6 packets over IPv4 only networks by encapsulating the IPv6 packets inside IPv4.

64
Q

Solve for definition:

These are sent by routers to announce their presence and provide essential network configuration parameters to hosts on the network. These include information such as the network prefix, flag indicating whether stateful DHCPv6 should be used, and the router’s link-layer address.

A

Router advertisements

65
Q

Solve for definition:

Hosts use these messages to discover routers on the network. When a host starts up or joins a network, it sends this type of message to the all-routers multicast address (ff02::2) requesting router configuration information.

A

Router solicitation

66
Q

What is the difference between IPv6 numbered and IPv6 unnumbered?

A

In a numbered interface configuration, each network interface is assigned a unique and specific IPv6 address.

In an unnumbered interface configuration, multiple interfaces share a common IPv6 address. This address is often associated with a loopback interface or another central interface on the device.

67
Q

FF02::5 and FF02::6 are used as ____ multicast addresses

68
Q

For EIGRP neighborship, what kind of addresses are used?
