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

    @lappy
    i had my doubt about it too so i went googling

    “The 128-bit IPv6 address can be abbreviated with the following rules:

    *Rule one: Leading zeroes within a 16-bit value may be omitted. For example, the address fe80:0000:0000:0000:0202:b3ff:fe1e:8329 may be written as fe80:0:0:0:202:b3ff:fe1e:8329

    *Rule two: One group of consecutive zeroes within an address may be replaced by a double colon. For example, fe80:0:0:0:202:b3ff:fe1e:8329 becomes fe80::202:b3ff:fe1e:8329″

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6

    there’s also an example that looks like the address from option F of question 7:

    @xallax, so is d option F correct or not? Thnk you!

  4. xallax

    @hanat
    yes, option F is correct too.

    @H4Ser

    2001:0DB8:0000:130F:0000:0000:08GC:140B is indeed not correct because it has letter “G” in it. hexadecimal value can only be up to “F”

  13. nneka22
    October 11th, 2011

    hey guys ive cracked it!! @lappy is right option F of question 7 is not correct @9tut please update this is because ipv6 is in hexadecimal but option F is in decimal which makes it invalid.. @patso pls what were ur sim questions?

  14. 9tut
    October 11th, 2011

    @nneka22: F is correct. That IPv6 is correct, a number in decimal is also the same in hexadecimal.

  15. nneka22
    October 12th, 2011

    ok 9tut thanks…option A is similar to F as per all decimal but on ACME it says option F and E are the incorrect ipv6 examples

  16. Ciscocraze
    October 12th, 2011

    why the Ipv6 address

    2001:3452:4952:2837::

    is marked invalid in one of the dumbs???Any ne having any explainiation to this In my opinion it is a valid address

  17. Chris
    October 17th, 2011

    Conflicting answers between examcollections and 9TUT.
    Could someone help me out?

    2001:3452:4952:2837::
    valid IPv6 or not?

    Thank you!

  18. MANILA
    October 17th, 2011

    same question with chris
    2001:3452:4952:2837:: is this valid ipv6 address ???
    quick answer pls.. thanks

  19. Xel
    October 19th, 2011

    Question 7:
    F – 2001:3452:4952:2837::

    I think this is not a valid IPv6 address, because it’s a prefix, not an address.
    The first 64 bits are all covered, and none of the Interface ID bits are 1. So this is not an address that can be allocated to a host.

  20. 9tut
    October 21st, 2011

    @Xel: Question 7 only asks about valid IP address, not about assignable address to host so F is still correct.

    @9tut
    if they want 4 answers,what will be answers?

  22. lu
    October 21st, 2011

    @9tut
    i saw Q7 in one dump which want 4 valid ipv6 address,what will be answers? please reply

  23. sovy
    October 21st, 2011

    @9tut
    Could u tell me why 2000:: is not an ipv6 address?
    And what does a valid address mean?

  24. sovy
    October 21st, 2011

    you said that 2001:3452:4952:2837:: is a valid IP address.
    i think that address is a network address. If a network address is valid than 2000:: is still valid!

  25. 9tut
    October 21st, 2011

    @sovy: Yes, I agree 2001:3452:4952:2837:: may not be a valid address. It depends on the prefix length. Same for 2000::

    So if the question requires to choose 4 answers we should choose A B C D only. If it requires more than 4 answers, we should add F, then E.

    @9tut

    C – Every IPV6 interface contains at least one loopback address.

    how this can be right , i only know about loop back that is ::1/128 .

    some one can explain me?

    Dear Experts,

    i am slapping my self to identify the valid IPV6 IP.. can any one explan me clearly with condition or rules to identify? like condition no:1 or Rule no: 1

    Example:

    Which option is a valid IPV6 address?

    A. 2001:0000:130F::099a::12a –> Not correct because rule no:1 – It has 9 octacts?
    B. 2002:7654:A1AD:51:81AF:CCC1 —> Not correct but why? what is rule?
    C. FEC0: ABCD:WXYZ:0067:2A4 –> Not correct becasue rule no:2 –it has WXYZ which correct but which rule ??

    Ans: D

    Why what is the diff between B & D ?

  44. Eng-Support

    @ KIRAN UNDURTHI

    Which option is a valid IPV6 address?

    A. 2001:0000:130F::099a::12a –> Not correct because “::” CAN BE USED ONLY ONCE IN THE ADDRESS.

    B. 2002:7654:A1AD:51:81AF:CCC1 —> Not correct BECAUSE THERE ARE ONLY 6 OCTECTS… IPV6 ADDRESS CONTAINS 8 OCTECTS.

    C. FEC0: ABCD:WXYZ:0067:2A4 –> Not correct becasue IPV6 ADDRESS CONTAINS CHARACTER, 0-9 & A-F ONLY.

    D. 2004:1:25A4:886F::1 –> CORRECT… IT CAN ALSO WRITTEN AS
    2004:0001:25A4:886F:0000:0000:0000:0001

    >>> hope this clears your confusion… i used to be confused about ipv6 a lot… read ipv6 tutorials again & again. solve questions & think abt why the correct ans is correct & others are wrong. best luck.
