IPv6 GDSA Practice Questions (Page 3)
Part of the Network Services and Encryption domain, which makes up ~23% of our current practice bank. GIAC (SANS) does not publish an official question count, but from its 120-minute exam (~50–80 total, ~12–18 in this domain), expect 4–6 from this objective — we provide 46 practice questions to prepare you well beyond it.

A network engineer is configuring IPv6 on a router interface. The engineer needs to ensure that the router can communicate with other routers on the same physical segment for OSPFv3 neighbor discovery, but the address must not be routable beyond the local link. Which IPv6 address should be configured on the interface?

A network engineer is configuring IPv6 on a new segment that will contain only stateless devices such as sensors that do not support DHCPv6. The devices must automatically obtain a global IPv6 address and learn the default gateway without any manual configuration. Which configuration approach should the engineer use?
