IPv6 Flashcards
How many bits is an IPv6 address?
128 Bits
How many 16 bit hexadecimal fields are there in an IPv6 address?
8
How could you rewrite this IPv6 Address?
2001:0DB8:0000:0001:0000:0000:0000:0001
2001:db8:0:1:0:0:0:1
OR
2001:db8:0:1::1
What does a double colon (::) in an IPv6 address represent?
It means there were successive 0 hextet fields in the IPv6 Address
How many double colons can you have in an IPv6 address?
1
Rewrite 2001:0db8:0001:0002:0000:0000:FFE8:0001 to shorthand
2001:db8:1:2::ffe8:1
What is a common block assigned for a company in regards to an IPv6 address space?
/48
What mask should IPv6 hosts have per IPv6 official standards?
/64
What hextet is the subnet decided on?
the 4th from the left
Example: 2001:db8:1:2::ffe8:1
What do the first 3 hextets represent in an IPv6 address?
The Company Portion of the IPv6 Address
What do the last 4 hextets represent in an IPv6 address?
The Host Portion of the Address
How many subnets would a normal /64 network be able to use?
65,535
Does IPv6 support Broadcast traffic?
No
What does IPv6 do to get around not supporting Broadcast traffic?
It supports multicast traffic to ALL hosts on the local subnet which is functionally equivalent
How would you configure a manual IPv6 address?
ipv6 unicast-routing
int {int}
ipv6 add {add}
How would you verify an IPv6 address?
show ipv6 int brief
The first 3 hectets also reflect what about the IPv6 address other than the company portion?
It’s the portion of the address that was assigned by the ISP or internet authorities
What is the subnet hextet in this IPv6 address?
2001:db8:FF01:0001::1
0001
How does an EUI-64 Address get it’s address?
The router is given the company portion of the address by an admin
The router then derives the IPv6 address host portion from the MAC Address
FF:FE is injected in the middle of the host portion to bring it up to 64 bits
7th bit of the host portion is inverted
Scenario:
IPv6 Network Portion: 2001:db8:0:1/64
MAC Address: ca01.2f24.0000
What would be EUI-64 Address?
2001:db8:0:1:c801:2fff:fe24:0
Pick out the unique bits in this EUI-64 Address
2001:db8:01:c801:2fff:fe24:0

Are Unique Local Addresses publicly reachable?
No
What range are Unique Local Addresses assigned from?
FC00::/7
