A network engineer is configuring a router to connect two different subnets. The engineer wants to use the router's link-local address as the next hop for static routes, because link-local addresses are stable and do not change when the global prefix changes. The engineer configures a static route on a neighboring router. Which address should be used as the next-hop address in the static route?

The unique local address of the router's interface

The link-local address of the router's interface on the shared link

The multicast address of the router's interface

The global unicast address of the router's interface

What is a common use of IPv6 anycast addresses?

Sending a packet to all hosts on a local network

Providing a unique address for every device on the Internet

Providing a private address for internal communication

Allowing multiple servers to share the same address so clients reach the nearest server

A network engineer is examining an IPv6 global unicast address that was automatically configured on a host. The engineer notices that the interface ID portion of the address contains the value 'ff-fe' in the middle. What does this indicate?

The address was manually configured.

The address is a link-local address.

The interface ID was generated using Modified EUI-64 from the MAC address.

The address is a multicast address.

A multinational company is deploying IPv6 in its internal network. They have multiple sites connected via a private WAN. They want internal communication to be routable between sites but not on the public internet. They also want to avoid address conflicts if two sites independently choose the same ULA prefix. Which approach is the most appropriate?

Use link-local addresses for inter-site communication.

Use multicast addresses for all internal communication.

Use a centrally assigned unique local prefix (e.g., from a registry) and subnet it across sites.

Use global unicast addresses from the ISP for internal communication.

A small company is designing its IPv6 addressing plan. They need addresses for internal servers that must be reachable from the internet, and they also want to ensure that internal-only devices can communicate without being routable on the public internet. Which combination of address types should they use?

Unique local for internet-facing servers and global unicast for internal-only devices.

Anycast for internet-facing servers and multicast for internal-only devices.

Link-local for internet-facing servers and global unicast for internal-only devices.

Global unicast for internet-facing servers and unique local for internal-only devices.
