Q

What is the purpose of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6)?

A

To provide additional network information such as DNS server addresses.

25
Q

True or False: IPv4 and IPv6 will coexist for the foreseeable future.

A

True.

26
Q

What are the three migration techniques for transitioning from IPv4 to IPv6?

A
  • Dual stack
  • Tunneling
  • Translation
27
Q

What are the three categories of migration techniques to IPv6?

A

Dual stack, tunneling, translation

These techniques facilitate the transition from IPv4 to IPv6.

28
Q

What is the length of an IPv6 address?

A

128 bits

29
Q

What is the preferred format for writing an IPv6 address?

A

x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x

30
Q

How many hexadecimal values does each ‘x’ in an IPv6 address consist of?

A

Four

31
Q

What are the three types of IPv6 addresses?

A
  • Unicast
  • Multicast
  • Anycast
32
Q

What does an IPv6 unicast address do?

A

Uniquely identifies an interface on an IPv6-enabled device

33
Q

What is an IPv6 global unicast address (GUA)?

A

Globally unique and routable on the IPv6 internet

34
Q

What is the purpose of an IPv6 link-local address (LLA)?

A

Enables communication with other IPv6-enabled devices on the same link

35
Q

What command is used to configure an IPv6 GUA on an interface?

A

ipv6 address ipv6-address/prefix-length

36
Q

How does a device obtain a GUA dynamically?

A

Through ICMPv6 messages

37
Q

How often do IPv6 routers send out ICMPv6 RA messages?

A

Every 200 seconds

38
Q

What are the three methods of RA messages?

A
  • SLAAC
  • SLAAC with a stateless DHCPv6 server
  • Stateful DHCPv6 (no SLAAC)
39
Q

What processes can be used to create the interface ID in IPv6?

A
  • EUI-64 process
  • Randomly generated 64-bit number
40
Q

What is the EUI-64 process?

A

Uses the 48-bit Ethernet MAC address to create a 64-bit interface ID

41
Q

What happens if a device uses a randomly generated interface ID?

A

It may differ depending upon the operating system

42
Q

Is it mandatory for all IPv6 devices to have an IPv6 LLA?

A

Yes

43
Q

How can an LLA be created?

A

Manually or dynamically

44
Q

What are the two types of IPv6 multicast addresses?

A
  • Well-known multicast addresses
  • Solicited node multicast addresses
45
Q

What is the All-nodes multicast group address?

A

ff02::1

46
Q

What is the All-routers multicast group address?

A

ff02::2

47
Q

What is a solicited-node multicast address?

A

Similar to the all-nodes multicast address, mapped to a special Ethernet multicast address

48
Q

What is the purpose of the subnet ID field in an IPv6 GUA?

A

Used to create subnets

49
Q

What is stateful DHCPv6?

A

A method for a device to automatically receive a GUA, prefix length, and DNS server addresses

50
Q

What does the RA message suggest for devices?

A
  • Use router LLA for default gateway
  • Use stateful DHCPv6 server for GUA and DNS server address
51
Q

What is the value inserted in the EUI-64 process?

A

A 16 bit value of fffe

52
Q

What happens to the 7th bit of the client MAC address in the EUI-64 process?

A

It is reversed from binary 0 to 1

53
Q

What is Duplicate Address Detection (DAD)?

A

A process to ensure the uniqueness of any IPv6 unicast address

54
Q

How are dynamic LLAs created?

A

Using the fe80::/10 prefix and the interface ID

55
Q

What is the default method Cisco IOS routers use to generate the interface ID for LLAs?

A

EUI-64

56
Q

What is the IPv6 address format for a dynamically configured LLA on Cisco routers?

A

fe80:: followed by the EUI-64 generated interface ID

57
Q

What is the command to check the IPv6 interface configuration on Cisco routers?

A

show ipv6 interface brief

58
Q

What are link local address (LLA)

A

Required for every IPv6-enabled device and used to communicate with other devices on the same local link. LLAs are not routable and are confined to a single link.
