Q

Describe IPv4 Broadcast Communication

A

Send information to all machines in broadcast domain at once

One packet received by everyone
Routing updates, AR P requests
Not used in IPv6

Q

Describe IPv4 Multicast Communication

A

Delivery of info to interested systems
-One to Many

Multimedia delivery, stock updates.

Very specialized, and difficult to scale across large networks.

Used in both IPv4 and v6 neworks

Q

Describe IPv4 Anycast Communication

A

-Single destination IP address has multiple paths to two or more endpoints.

-One-to-one of many

  • Configure the same anycast address on different devices.
  • The anycast address looks like any other unicast address.
  • Packets sent to anycast address are delivered to the closest interface.
    Typical for DNS

Q

List the Classful IP Address Ranges using CIDR notation

A

Leading Octet used to determine class and default network bits:

Class A: 1-127 \24
Class B: 128-191 \16
Class C: 192-223 \8

Class D: 224-239 (Undefined subnet mask)
Class E: 240-254 (Undefined subnet mask)

Q

What are the rules for shortening an IPv6 Address

A
  • Groups of zeros can be abbreviated using “::” Only once per address
  • Leading 0’s are optional

DNS is very important

Q

What is EUI-64?

A

Extended Unique Identifier - 64bit

Method of static addressing where the address of the device never changes.

Makes use of the other address each device with a NIC has (MAC Address)

EUI-64 combines IPv6 Prefix and the MAC address.

Q

How do you create a EUI-64 address?

A

-Take the EUI-48 address (MAC Address- 48 bits), split it in half.

-Enter FFFE in the middle for the two MAC address parts (16 bits)

Invert the seventh bit in the address to change the BIA (Burned in address) from a locally administered address.

17
Q

Explain IPv6 local tunneling

A

6to4 addressing
-Send IPv6 over existing IPv4 network
- Creates an IPV6 based on the IPv4 address.
-Requires relay routers
- No NAT support

4in6 - Tunnel IPv4 traffic over IPv6 network

18
Q

What is Teredo/Miredo?

A

Methods to tunnel IPv6 through NATed IPv4 network.
-End-To-End IPv6 through IPv4
- No special Router needed
-Temporary during migration to IPv6

Miredo - open source for Limux, BSD Unix, and MAC OS X

19
Q

What is Dual Stack Routing

A

IPV4 and IPV6 run at the same time.
-Interfaces will be assigned multiple address types.

20
Q

Describe IPv4 Dual Stack Routing

A

-IPV4 configured with IPv4 addresses
-Maintains an IPV4 routing table
-Uses IPv4 Dynamic Routing Protocols

21
Q

Describe IPv6 Dual Stack Routing

A

Maintains a separate IPv6 Routing table
- Uses IPv6 Dynamic Routing Protocols

22
Q

True or False: IPv6 uses ARP for neighbor discovery

A

False:

IPv6 uses NS (Neighbor Solicitation) - sent as a multicast and NA (Neighbor Advertisement) for Neighbor discovery.

23
Q

What is NDP?

A

Neighbor Discovery Protocol -

Method that runs over IPv6 Multicast that allows for Neighbor MAC Address resolution/Discovery.

24
Q

What is SLAAC?

A

Stateless Address Autoconfiguration
Allows for the configuration of an IPv6 address without an DHCP server.

25
Q

What is DAD?

A

Duplicate Address Detection -

Prevents duplicate addresses on a network
