Once connected, the caller would enter in the extension number of the person to whom they wished to speak.
private extension
59
________ is (by convention) the loopback address used in almost all cases
127.0.0.1
60
IPv4 reserves all addresses in the range 127.0.0.0 up to _____________ for use in loopback testing.

61
IPv6 increases the IP address size from 32 bits to ______ bits.
128 bits
62
IPv6 address is written one of three ways - which are?
Preferred, compressed, mixed
63
IPv6 addresses are typically composed of two logical parts: which are?
64-bit Network Prefix 64-bit Host ID
64
IPv6 addresses consist of _ groups of _ hexadecimal digits. Each group represents 16 bits and are separated by a “:”
IPv6 addresses consist of 8 groups of 4 hexadecimal digits. Each group represents 16 bits and are separated by a “:”
65
Where IPv4 text representations of addresses use decimal numbers, IPv6 uses __________.
hexadecimal
66
The preferred IPv6 form is written using hexadecimal values to refer to the 128-bit numbers in each address segment separated by a colon. It would be written like ___________, where each X consists of four 16-bit values.
X:X:X:X:X:X:X:X
67
The compressed form simply substitutes ___ strings with _______ to indicate the zeros are "compressed". This eliminates long strings of zero.
The compressed form simply substitutes zero strings with double colons to indicate the zeros are "compressed". This eliminates long strings of zero.
68
There are some rules to follow when doing compressed IPv6 zero substitutions - what are these rules?
1. First, a substitution can only be done on one "section," or a full 16-bit group 2. The double colon can only be used one time in any given address. 3. a double colon automatically suppresses neighboring leading or trailing zeros in an address. Therefore, the above address only indicates one set of double colons as a compressed IPv6 address even though there are two sets of zeros.
69
Mixed IPV6 Addressing is useful in environments using both _____ and ______ addresses.
is useful in environments using both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
70
A mixed address would look like __________________, where "X" represents the hexadecimal values of the six highest-order 16-bit components of an IPv6 address, and "D" represents an IPv4 value that would plug into the four lower-order values of an IPv6 address.
A mixed address would look like X:X:X:X:X:X:D.D.D.D, where "X" represents the hexadecimal values of the six highest-order 16-bit components of an IPv6 address, and "D" represents an IPv4 value that would plug into the four lower-order values of an IPv6 address.
71
What is "The Inspection Method"?
In the inspection method, since you only use four places, the largest four-digit binary number you can have is, 1111(2), is equal to the largest single digit hexadecimal number, F(16).
72
The Inspection Method is also referred to as what and why?
8421 - because The Binary Weighted Table for the 4 binary bits equals 8421, respectively.
73
What is "The Inspection Method"?
In the inspection method, since you only use four places, the largest four-digit binary number you can have is, 1111(2), is equal to the largest single-digit hexadecimal number, F(16).
74
