Q

How is address abbreviation done with IPv6 address?

A
  • Leading Zeros in each group can be omitted

- Groups with consecutive zero value can be replaced by double colon (::) (but only one series can be replaced)

17
Q

How many bits are allocated for the Interface Identifier in an IPv6 Link-Local Address?

A

64 bits

18
Q

What is the Interface Identifier in IPv6 derived from?

A

EUI-64

19
Q

What is Stateless Autoconfiguration (eui-64) used for?

A

Link-Local or Global Unicast Addresses?

20
Q

What occurs in Stateless Autoconfiguration (eui-64)?

A
  • Interface Id is automatically calculated

- Router advertisements (ICMPv6) provides other configuration information

21
Q

What is unique about DHCP in IPv6?

A

DHCP can still be used to allocate IPv6 Address to host, but a host can also configure itself

22
Q

How many bytes are allocated for the Base Header in an IPv6 Datagram?

A

40 bytes

23
Q

How many bytes are allocated for the Payload in an IPv6 Datagram?

A

65,535 Bytes

24
Q

What are the six Extension Header Types for an IPv6 Datagram?

A
  • Hop-by-Hop
  • Source Routing
  • Fragmentation
  • Authentication
  • Encrypted Security Payload
  • Destination
