200-301 Question 101

Single answer

A network administrator is configuring IPv6 addressing on a network. The administrator assigns an IPv6 address of fe80::1 to one of the interfaces and 2001:db8::10 to another interface on the same router. Which statement is TRUE about these addresses?

  1. A

    fe80::1 is a global unicast address.

  2. B

    2001:db8::10 is a unique local address.

  3. C

    fe80::1 can only be used for communication within the same link.

  4. D

    2001:db8::10 can be routed across the internet.

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

IPv6 defines multiple address types. Link-local addresses, such as fe80::/10, are valid only within a single link and cannot be routed beyond it. Global unicast addresses, such as those in the 2000::/3 range (excluding reserved ones like 2001:db8::/32), are designed for internet routing. Unique local addresses are in the fc00::/7 range and are used for private communication within an organization.

  • A. Incorrect.

    fe80::1 is a link-local address, not a global unicast address. Link-local addresses are automatically assigned and used for communication within a single link.

  • B. Incorrect.

    2001:db8::10 is a global unicast address, not a unique local address. Unique local addresses are in the fc00::/7 range.

  • C. Correct.

    Correct: fe80::1 is a link-local address and can only be used for communication between devices on the same physical or logical link.

  • D. Incorrect.

    While 2001:db8::10 is a global unicast address, addresses in the 2001:db8::/32 block are reserved for documentation and cannot be routed across the internet.

200-301 Question 102

Select 3

A network administrator is configuring IPv6 addresses on devices in a network. One device is assigned the address 'fe80::1', while another is assigned '2001:db8:abcd::1'. A third device is assigned 'fd00::1'. Which of the following statements about these IPv6 addresses is correct?

  1. A

    'fe80::1' is a link-local unicast address.

  2. B

    '2001:db8:abcd::1' is a unique local unicast address.

  3. C

    'fd00::1' is a global unicast address.

  4. D

    '2001:db8:abcd::1' is a global unicast address.

  5. E

    'fd00::1' is a unique local unicast address.

Show answer and explanation

Correct answers: A, D, E

Explanation

IPv6 unicast addresses are categorized into global unicast, unique local unicast, and link-local unicast. Global unicast addresses (e.g., '2001:db8:abcd::1') are routable on the public internet, unique local addresses (e.g., 'fd00::1') are used within private networks, and link-local addresses (e.g., 'fe80::1') are valid only within a single link. Understanding these categories helps in accurately configuring and troubleshooting IPv6 networks.

  • A. Correct.

    'fe80::1' is indeed a link-local unicast address. Link-local addresses always begin with 'fe80::' and are valid only within the same link or segment.

  • B. Incorrect.

    '2001:db8:abcd::1' is not a unique local unicast address; it is part of the global unicast address space. Global unicast addresses typically start with '2000::/3'.

  • C. Incorrect.

    'fd00::1' is not a global unicast address. Unique local unicast addresses (ULA) start with 'fd00::/8', while global unicast addresses typically start with '2000::/3'.

  • D. Correct.

    '2001:db8:abcd::1' is a global unicast address. Global unicast addresses are routable on the public internet and typically begin with '2000::/3'.

  • E. Correct.

    'fd00::1' is a unique local unicast address. Addresses in the range 'fd00::/8' are reserved for unique local addressing, which is used for internal networks and not routable on the public internet.

200-301 Question 103

Single answer

You are configuring IPv6 addresses on a network. A specific address type is needed that can be used for communication within a single link and does not require a global routing prefix. Which of the following IPv6 address types meets this requirement?

  1. A

    Global Unicast Address

  2. B

    Unique Local Address

  3. C

    Link-Local Address

  4. D

    Multicast Address

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Link-Local Addresses are specifically designed for communication between nodes on the same link. They are automatically assigned to every IPv6-enabled interface and use the prefix FE80::/10. Unlike Global Unicast or Unique Local Addresses, Link-Local Addresses do not require a routing prefix and cannot be routed beyond their link.

  • A. Incorrect.

    Global Unicast Addresses are designed for internet-wide routing and require a global routing prefix. They are not limited to a single link.

  • B. Incorrect.

    Unique Local Addresses are intended for local communication within a site or organization and can route within that scope, but they are not restricted to a single link.

  • C. Correct.

    Link-Local Addresses are automatically configured on all IPv6-enabled interfaces and are restricted to communication within a single link. They do not require a global routing prefix.

  • D. Incorrect.

    Multicast Addresses are used for one-to-many communication, not for single-link communication.

200-301 Question 104

Select 2

You are tasked with configuring IPv6 addresses on a network. One of the devices requires an address that is routable across the internet, while another device needs an address that is only valid within a local network segment. A third device requires an address that can communicate within a private network but is not routable on the internet. Which types of IPv6 addresses should you use for these devices, respectively?

  1. A

    Global Unicast for the internet-routable device, Link-Local for the local network segment, Unique Local for the private network

  2. B

    Unique Local for the internet-routable device, Link-Local for the local network segment, Global Unicast for the private network

  3. C

    Global Unicast for the internet-routable device, Unique Local for the private network, Link-Local for the local network segment

  4. D

    Link-Local for the internet-routable device, Unique Local for the private network, Global Unicast for the local network segment

Show answer and explanation

Correct answers: A, C

Explanation

IPv6 addresses are categorized based on their scope and purpose: Global Unicast addresses (2000::/3) are used for internet routing, Link-Local addresses (FE80::/10) are automatically assigned and only valid within a local network segment, and Unique Local addresses (FC00::/7) are private and not routable on the internet. Properly understanding their scope and use is essential for network design and configuration.

  • A. Correct.

    Correct: Global Unicast addresses are routable on the internet, Link-Local addresses are used for communication within a local segment, and Unique Local addresses are private and not routable on the internet.

  • B. Incorrect.

    Incorrect: Unique Local addresses are not routable on the internet, so this configuration is invalid for the internet-routable device.

  • C. Correct.

    Correct: This configuration properly assigns Global Unicast for internet routing, Unique Local for private communication, and Link-Local for local segment communication.

  • D. Incorrect.

    Incorrect: Link-Local addresses cannot be used for internet communication, and Global Unicast addresses are not restricted to a local network segment.

200-301 Question 105

Single answer

A company has deployed a global content delivery network (CDN) using an anycast IP address. Users from different geographic regions are reporting varying response times when accessing the service. What is the primary reason for this behavior?

  1. A

    The anycast IP address directs users to the nearest server based on network topology.

  2. B

    The anycast IP address directs all users to a single, centralized server.

  3. C

    The anycast IP address uses round-robin load balancing to distribute traffic across all servers.

  4. D

    The anycast IP address prioritizes servers with the least CPU utilization to handle requests.

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Anycast is a routing method where a single IP address is advertised by multiple servers in different locations. It directs traffic to the nearest server based on network metrics such as routing cost or latency. This ensures efficient delivery of services but can lead to varying response times depending on the user's location and the network path to the nearest server.

  • A. Correct.

    Correct. Anycast routes traffic to the nearest server based on network topology, which can result in varying response times depending on the user's geographic location and network conditions.

  • B. Incorrect.

    Incorrect. Anycast does not direct all users to a single server. Instead, it distributes traffic to the nearest server in the network.

  • C. Incorrect.

    Incorrect. Round-robin load balancing is not used in anycast. Anycast relies on routing protocols to direct users to the closest server.

  • D. Incorrect.

    Incorrect. Anycast does not consider server CPU utilization when routing traffic. It uses network routing metrics to determine the nearest server.
