Q

What is EUI-64?

A

22
Q

What is the range of multicast addresses for all nodes?

23
Q

What is the range of multicast addresses for all routers?

24
Q

Can an IPv6 device have multiple addresses?

A

Yes, including link-local, global unicast, and others.

25
What protocol does IPv6 use for neighbor discovery?
ICMPv6
26
What is ND (Neighbor Discovery)?
Replaces ARP, ICMP router discovery, and more in IPv6.
27
What is an Anycast address in IPv6?
An address assigned to multiple devices; the nearest one responds.
28
What is the DHCPv6 Solicit address?
'::' (unspecified address used by clients to communicate with servers)
29
Why must you specify an exit interface when using a link-local next-hop in IPv6?
Because link-local addresses are not globally unique and the router needs to know which interface to use.
30
What is the 'sdm prefer' command used for?
To change the router's SDM template, optimizing resources for features like IPv6, routing, or QoS.
