Which of the following is a valid IPv6 link-local address prefix?
Answer: FE80::/10
Link-local addresses always start with FE80::/10 and are automatically assigned to every IPv6-enabled interface.
What does the 'network address' of a subnet represent?
Answer: The base address that identifies the subnet itself
The network address (all host bits set to 0) identifies the subnet and cannot be assigned to a host.
An interface receives the IPv6 address 2001:DB8::1/64 via stateless address autoconfiguration (SLAAC). Which portion is derived from the router advertisement?
Answer: The first 64 bits (prefix)
SLAAC uses the 64-bit prefix advertised by the router and the device generates its own 64-bit interface ID (typically from the EUI-64 process).
Which private IPv4 address range is defined in RFC 1918 for Class B networks?
Answer: 172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255
RFC 1918 designates 172.16.0.0 through 172.31.255.255 (172.16.0.0/12) as private Class B space.
How many usable host addresses are available in a /29 subnet?
Answer: 6
A /29 subnet has 3 host bits (2^3 = 8 addresses), minus 2 for network and broadcast, leaving 6 usable hosts.
Which IPv6 multicast address is used to reach all routers on the local link?
Answer: FF02::2
FF02::2 is the all-routers multicast address scoped to the local link.
Which IPv4 address is reserved as the limited broadcast address?
Answer: 255.255.255.255
255.255.255.255 is the limited broadcast address used to reach all hosts on the local network segment without routing.
