Here you will find answer to CCNA – IPv6 questions

If you are not sure about IPv6, please read my IPv6 tutorial

Question 1

As a CCNA candidate, you must have a firm understanding of the IPv6 address structure. Refer to IPv6 address, could you tell me how many bits are included in each filed?

A – 24
B – 4
C – 3
D – 16

 

Answer: D

Explanation:

The format of a IPv6 address is X:X:X:X:X:X:X:X where X is a 16-bit hexadecimal field. For example: 110A:0192:190F:0000:0000:082C:875A:132c

Question 2

In practical IPv6 application, a technology encapsulates IPv6 packets inside IPv4 packets, this technology is called what?

A – tunneling
B – hashing
C – routing
D – NAT

 

Answer: A

Question 3

Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is the next-generation Internet Protocol version designated as the successor to IPv4 because IPv4 address space is being exhausted. Which one of the following descriptions about IPv6 is correct?

A – Addresses are not hierarchical and are assigned at random.
B – Broadcasts have been eliminated and replaced with multicasts.
C – There are 2.7 billion available addresses.
D – An interface can only be configured with one IPv6 address.

 

Answer: B

Question 4

Which two of these statements are true of IPv6 address representation? (Choose two)

A – The first 64 bits represent the dynamically created interface ID.
B – A single interface may be assigned multiple IPV6 addresses of any type.
C – Every IPV6 interface contains at least one loopback address.
D – Leading zeros in an IPV6 16 bit hexadecimal field are mandatory.

 

Answer: B C

Explanation:

Leading zeros in IPv6 are optional do that 05C7 equals 5C7 and 0000 equals 0 -> D is not corect.

Question 5

Which three of the following are IPv6 transition mechanisms? (Choose three)

A – 6to4 tunneling
B – GRE tunneling
C – ISATAP tunneling
D – Teredo tunneling
E – VPN tunneling
F – PPP tunneling

 

Answer: A C D

Explanation:

Below is a summary of IPv6 transition technologies:

6 to 4 tunneling: This mechanism allows IPv6 sites to communicate with each other over the IPv4 network without explicit tunnel setup. The main advantage of this technology is that it requires no end-node reconfiguration and minimal router configuration but it is not intended as a permanent solution.

ISATAP tunneling (Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol): is a mechanism for transmitting IPv6 packets over IPv4 network. The word “automatic” means that once an ISATAP server/router has been set up, only the clients must be configured to connect to it.

Teredo tunneling: This mechanism tunnels IPv6 datagrams within IPv4 UDP datagrams, allowing private IPv4 address and IPv4 NAT traversal to be used.

In fact, GRE tunneling is also a IPv6 transition mechanism but is not mentioned in CCNA so we shouldn’t choose it (there are 4 types of IPv6 transition mechanisms mentioned in CCNA; they are: manual, 6-to-4, Teredo and ISATAP).

 

Question 6

Which two descriptions are correct about characteristics of IPv6 unicast addressing? (Choose two)

A – Global addresses start with 2000::/3.
B – Link-local addresses start with FF00::/10.
C – Link-local addresses start with FE00:/12.
D – There is only one loopback address and it is ::1.

 

Answer: A D

Explanation:

Below is the list of common kinds of IPv6 addresses:

Loopback address ::1
Link-local address FE80::/10
Site-local address FEC0::/10
Global address 2000::/3
Multicast address FF00::/8

 

Question 7

Select the valid IPv6 addresses. (Choose all apply)

A – ::192:168:0:1
B – 2002:c0a8:101::42
C – 2003:dead:beef:4dad:23:46:bb:101
D – ::
E – 2000::
F – 2001:3452:4952:2837::

 

Answer: A B C D F

Explanation:

Answers A B C are correct because A and B are the short form of 0:0:0:0:192:168:0:1 and 2002:c0a8:0101:0:0:0:0:0042 while C are normal IPv6 address.

Answer D is correct because “::” is named the “unspecified” address and is typically used in the source field of a datagram that is sent by a device that seeks to have its IP address configured.

Answer E is not correct because a global-unicast IPv6 address is started with binary 001, denoted as 2000::/3 in IPv6 and it also known as an aggregatable global unicast address.The 2000:: (in particular, 2000::/3) is just a prefix and is not a valid IPv6 address.

The entire global-unicast IPv6 address range is from 2000::/128 to 3FFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF/128, resulting in a total usable space of over 42,535,295,865,117,307,932,921,825,928,971,000,000 addresses, which is only 1/8th of the entire IPv6 address space!

 

Question 8

What is the Multicast for all-router muticast access ?

A – FF02::4
B – FF02::3
C – FF02::2
D – FF02::1

 

Answer: C

(New) Question 9

Which IPv6 address used the all-rip-routers multicast group as the destination address for RIP updates?

 

Answer: FF02::9

    hi guys
    this exam is so simple

    rule 1
    before you start the exam write down all the lab step by step i did that by the time the RIP V2 lab comes i was just swimming cause i was writing everything i see its like cheating but its not, the NAT lab came as well i did the same thing but only work on ip address by doing that you save time

    rule 2
    write down subnet masks and subnetting and write down the example just in case you forget how it works

    rule 3
    study the latest dumps like Testinsidev26 or Pass4sure or any latest dumps
    and study all the ccna 640- 802 questions from this site

    hey 9tut, thanks for putting this great site up.

    i want to make a notice of one thing

    Site-local address are FC00:://7 rather FC00:://10

  3. 9tut
    December 2nd, 2010

    FC00::/7 are unique Local IPv6 Unicast Addresses which are only routable within a set of cooperating sites.

    FEC0::/10 is the site-local prefix specifies that the address is only valid inside the local organisation.

    December 2nd, 2010

    Q7 .. how is the anwer F .. a valid ipv6.
    plz 9tut explain.. got exam on my head
    thx

  5. 9tut
    December 2nd, 2010

    F can be written as 2001:3452:4952:2837:0:0:0:0

  6. jar
    December 2nd, 2010

    F is invalid because last 64 bits of IPv6 address cannot be all 0.

    Hi! i have one question!

    Running both IPv4 and IPv6 on a router simultaneously is known as what?

    A) 4to6 routing
    B) 6to4 routing
    C) binary routing
    D) dual-stack routing
    E) NextGen routing

    Answer: C
    I think it’s not be correct! And correct answer it’s D…..

    I need the correct answer of this question
    What is the valid reason for a switch to deny port access to new devices when port security is enabled

    1.The denied MAC address have already been learned or configured on another secure interface in the same VLAN.
    2.The denied MAC address are statically configured on the port.
    3. The minimum MAC threshold has been reached.
    4. The absolute aging time for denied MAC address have expired.

    TestInside LAtest version says the answer is 2
    But I think the answer is 3
    bcoz if a MAC address is denied how could it be statically configured on the port. We configure MAC address statically so that we donot need to learn it dynamically for a switchport.
    For choice 3, it looks better bcoz switch can be configured to only allow one MAC address.
    Please do let me know
    thnxx…

  11. Nhim
    December 2nd, 2010

    I think

    We configure MAC address statically so that we donot need to learn it dynamically for a switchport. So only frame MATCH the MAC as static config will allow to sent via this interface. Then other device can not send frame

    Correct is 2.

  12. Matty
    December 2nd, 2010

    Ok guys, there is a lot of confusion about Q7; E & F being legal or not.
    Answer is they are not legal!!!

    Let me explain –
    2000::/3 is reserved for global unicast addressing. By Subnet 3, we mean to say that it must have 2 or 001 to start with. This means anything that starts with 2(001) is a global unicast address. Think of it as a PUBLIC IP the ISP assigns.
    Now the IANA authority(I think this is what its called), assigns the whole IPv6 Subnet to organizations with large requirement. They can assign them an IP Subnet say – 2000:1111:AAAA:FFFF::/64 or even 2001:3452:4952:2837::/64(as above), but remember 2001:3452:4952:2837:: is a SUBNET and not an IP ADDRESS and also without the /64(or whatever subnet no.) at the end is invalid. This exception only applies to anything starting with 2..Please read Wendell Odom Pgs 588-592. Hope this helps..

    Re: That validator website that someone suggested – Its wrong and I would not trust it.

  13. Paul
    December 2nd, 2010

    @ Matty; so E & F are legal because they are subnet addresses? I think this is unfair, the question doesn’t say they have to be host addresses. And surely the prefix isn’t needed as the 5th block of 16 bits always defines the subnet, which appears to me to make the idea of prefixes redundant; as it will always be /64 in IPv6.

    Anyway for the purpose of CCNA, are we to assume that any IPv6 address where the 5th block (subnet) of 16 bits is all 0′s; that this is an invalid IP address? But wouldn’t that mean that “Answer B – 2002:c0a8:101::42″ is also a subnet address and should be invalid?

  14. Matty
    December 2nd, 2010

    @Paul,

    E and F are subnets not IPv6 addresses.
    In IPv4 termis it is same as saying is 192.168.0.0/24 a valid usable ip address and you will say NO, because it is a subnet address.
    As a general rule (for CCNA exam), remember anything that ends with :: at the end must have the subnet number mentioned by the ‘/’ or its not legal (only exception being undefined address).
    Answer B is a valid Global unicast address. It can be written as -
    2002:c0a8:0101:0000:0000:0000:0000:0042
    on the other hand if they had mentioned “2002:c0a8:101::” it would be invalid.

  15. Paul
    December 2nd, 2010

    Ah ok, thanks Matty. I think I understand. But how many bits at the end need to be zero in order to make it a subnet address? Is it just the last 16 bits, or the last 48 (host bits) or the last 64 (host + subnet).

    Also is seems answer “D. ::” is a special case which is set aside for the unspecified address and hence it is valid.

    Hi all!

    which option is valid Ip address
    ( inValid means either incorrect format or but format is ok but using some other puposes: i.e loopback, site-local,global-address,multicast address,..
    honestly I do not know the mean but by common sense I think both should be cosidered as invalid, am I correct?)

    A.2001:0000:130F::099a::12a
    I believe both uppercase /lower case are existed- I mean characters)
    B.2002:7654:A1AD:61:81AF:CCC!
    C.FEC0:ABCD:WXYZ:0067::2A4
    D.2004:1:25A4:886F::1
    E .(not in dump) ABCD::DEFG:3400:9ASD:EFG

    Ans: D

    why not ? B and C
    what you think about E?
    Please answer it.

    Thanks

    A.2001:0000:130F::099a::12a
    I believe both uppercase /lower case are existed- I mean characters)
    B.2002:7654:A1AD:61:81AF:CCC!
    C.FEC0:ABCD:WXYZ:0067::2A4
    D.2004:1:25A4:886F::1
    E .(not in dump) ABCD::DEFG:3400:9ASD:EFG

    B: the last symbol is exclamatory
    C: note the is XYZ..
    D & E are valid i think..
    E option has “G” so that’s also invalid only D

  18. Stevan
    December 2nd, 2010

    Hi all!
    thanks for marc:

    Only hex values (A to F) is valid not other alphabet what about lowercase?
    In e , assuming all G’s are replaced by A’s , but still in last (hextet- in ipv6 ?) has 3 hex #’s not 4 hextets. So may be we need at least 4 hex’s ??

    Very good point, I got from your reply all G-Z are invalid, even I knew before, I was overlooked.
    Last point, B.2002:7654:A1AD:61:81AF:CCC!
    end is not (!) this, I missed type, some valid characters, say B.
    If this case is answer right .. ?
    please clear . Thank you.
    ** and also They trick on( starting -ipv6) 200-2001-2002 and FF.. FE,..
    Please let any inf about ,, if you can
    One of the this reason they did not accept choice B, I guess.
    Leading zeros, We used one time, in choice E, just after 1st hextet. so can we use again at the end? ..If we can then, we would say E also right.Without lab I can not confirm That is my bad.

    Thank you

    Hi All

    I have one general question.

    1. All the ports on a switch have MAC addresses.
    2. When we attach a device, PC or Modem, ATA , they have also MAC addresses.

    which MAC address is routing/sent over the network during communication ?
    Switch port MAC or Device MAC ?

    i think it will solve one of major confusion.

  20. UthmanHassan
    December 13th, 2010

    @ miab

    Unmanaged switches do not have any MAC address on them.

    Managed switches like the ones we deal in CCNA have one burned in MAC address also known as Base MAC address or Base Hardware Address. Recall the switch with the lowest MAC becoming the Root Bridge. Those are all switches trying to decide which switch has the lowest base mac.

    Now Fa0/1 port will also have a mac address that is different from base mac. Fa0/2′s mac will be fa0/1′s mac in HEX + 1. Fa0/3′s would be fa0/2′s mac + 2 and so on.

    It’s a 2960 switch in Packet Tracer. Its Base ethernet MAC Address is 0003.E46D.3906

    Fa0/1 – 00D0.BC33.A601
    Fa0/2 – 00D0.BC33.A602
    Fa0/3 – 00D0.BC33.A603 …
    Fa0/9 – 00D0.BC33.A609
    Fa0/10 – 00D0.BC33.A60A
    Fa0/11 – 00D0.BC33.A60B …

    The mac used for communication is the mac of the device that is plugged into the switchport. Switches do not alter frames and put their macs in the outgoing frames’ source field. Instead they:

    keep the frame intact and just pass it on to the device whose mac is in the destination part of frame header (forward),
    or pass a frame out all ports if destination mac is all FFs (broadcast frame) or a frame arrives with a destination mac that is not in the mac table yet (flood),
    or they filter a frame if the destination mac is on the same port the frame came in on.

    Cheers

  21. UthmanHassan
    December 13th, 2010

    Sorry. Fa0/3′s would be fa0/2′s mac + 1 and so on.

    December 13th, 2010

    Thanks Uthman Hassan.
    This clarification will solve my confusions appearing in switching questions.

    is question 5 in the ccna scope? cause i only knew about 6to4 tunneling

  24. Qrsa
    December 25th, 2010

    just a note: RFC 3879 formally deprecates the use of site-local addresses (FEC0:) for future IPv6 implementations. Existing implementations of IPv6 can continue to use site-local addresses.
    To replace site-local addresses with a new type of address that is private to an organization, yet unique across all of the sites of the organization, RFC 4193 defines unique local IPv6 unicast addresses. Figure 4 shows the structure of unique local addresses.
    The first 7 bits have the fixed binary value of 1111110. All unique local addresses have the address prefix FC00::/7. The Local (L) flag is set 1 to indicate a local address. The L flag value set to 0 has not yet been defined. Therefore, unique local addresses with the L flag set to 1 have the address prefix of FD00::/8.

    For Mr.Khan, i got this answer from Todd Lammle website

    http://www.lammle.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=2520

    What is the valid reason for a switch to deny port access to new devices when port security is enabled
    1.The denied MAC address have already been learned or configured on another secure interface in the same VLAN.
    2.The denied MAC address are statically configured on the port.
    3. The minimum MAC threshold has been reached.
    4. The absolute aging time for denied MAC address have expired.

    The answer is “A”

    When you are using port security, this is local to the switch.
    If that MAC address is learned on another port “on the same switch”, it will not be allowed in another port on that same switch.

    Cheers!

    Hi I have got my ccna exam tomorrow and don’t understand the valid ipv6 addresses for example following question:
    Which option is a valid IPv6 address?
    A. 2002:7654:A1AD:61:81AF:CCC1
    B. 2001:0000:130F:099a::12a
    C. 2004:1:25A4:886F::1
    D. FEC0:ABCD:WXYZ:0067::2A4

    Could someone please help me and explain it ?

  30. REDEYE
    February 1st, 2011

    @ Danilel
    Option A is incorrect coz it has only six blocks.
    B,C, & D are correct coz use “::” which represent consecutive zeros .

  31. SG
    February 4th, 2011

    @Danilel
    D is not correct as WXYZ are not valid hex characters (valid hex are A, B, C, D, E and F)

    Question 4

    Which two of these statements are true of IPv6 address representation? (Choose two)

    A – The first 64 bits represent the dynamically created interface ID.
    B – A single interface may be assigned multiple IPV6 addresses of any type.
    C – Every IPV6 interface contains at least one loopback address.
    D – Leading zeros in an IPV6 16 bit hexadecimal field are mandatory.

    Answer: B C

    I dont understand how every IPv6 address has one loopback. There is only one loopback and that is ::1. This has been verified on other questions too which say that ::1 is the only loopback in IPv6. In my opintion, this question should be Choose 1, and the answer is B. Any comments? Or if there is something im missing can someone please let me know!

  39. Sarah
    February 25th, 2011

    …. To add:

    I beleive question 4 answer C should be “Every IPV6 interface contains at least one link-local address.”

    Question 6

    Which two descriptions are correct about characteristics of IPv6 unicast addressing? (Choose two)

    A – Global addresses start with 2000::/3.
    B – Link-local addresses start with FF00::/10.
    C – Link-local addresses start with FE00:/12.
    D – There is only one loopback address and it is ::1.

    D Should be “There is only one local host address and it is ::1″

    This would clear the ambiguous terminology up.

    Hope this helps.
