Question

Which three statements about assigning IPv6 addresses to hosts are accurate? (Choose three.)

A) DHCPv6 is commonly used for IPv6 address assignment.

B) Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC) is a method for automatically assigning IPv6 addresses.

C) Link-Local addresses are automatically assigned to all IPv6-enabled interfaces.

D) Global Unicast addresses are used for communication on the local subnet only.

E) IPv6 hosts can only obtain addresses through manual configuration by the network administrator.

F) Anycast addresses are used to identify multiple interfaces that belong to the same device or host.

Answer 1

Accurate statements about IPv6 address assignment include the use of Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC), DHCPv6, and automatic assignment of Link-Local addresses to all interfaces.

Step-by-step explanation:

The three accurate statements about assigning IPv6 addresses to hosts are:

• B) Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC) is a method for automatically assigning IPv6 addresses.
• A) DHCPv6 is commonly used for IPv6 address assignment.
• C) Link-Local addresses are automatically assigned to all IPv6-enabled interfaces.

SLAAC allows devices to automatically configure themselves with an IPv6 address without the need for a DHCP server. DHCPv6, on the other hand, is a protocol specifically designed for IPv6 address assignment by a DHCP server. Lastly, all IPv6 interfaces receive a Link-Local address that is used for communication on the local link (the local network segment). This address is not routable outside the local network.
