IPv6 Questions 3

June 28th, 2011 in ROUTE 642-902 Go to comments

Here you will find answers to IPv6 Questions – Part 3

Question 1

During the IPv6 autoconfiguration, what does the device append to the 64-bit prefix that it receives from the router to create its IPv6 address?

A. a pseudorandom generated number
B. its locally configured IPv4 address
C. the DHCP-supplied device ID
D. its MAC address


Answer: D

Explanation

The automatic configuration is a great feature of IPv6. Imagine you have to manually configure an IPv6 address with 128-bit long, what a pain! With this feature, it is no longer necessary to configure each host manually. But notice that host only autonomously configures its own Link-local address (the IP address used on a LAN). The Link-local address can be created automatically using a link-local prefix of FE80::/10 and a 64-bit interface identifier (based on 48-bit MAC address).

For example, if your MAC address is 00:12:34:56:78:9a, your 64-bit interface identifier is 0012:34FF:FE56:789a (16-bit FFFE is inserted in the middle). And notice that the notation has been changed because IPv6 addresses require 16-bit pieces to be separated by “:”.

Then, according to the RFC 3513 we need to invert the Universal/Local bit (“U/L” bit) in the 6th position of the first octet (start counting from 0). The “u” bit is set to 1 to indicate Universal, and it is set to zero (0) to indicate local scope. In this case we set this bit to 1 because the MAC address is universally unique. Thus the result is: 0212:34FF:FE56:789a.

Finally, add the link-local prefix FE80 to create the full IPv6 address: FE80:0:0:0:0212:34FF:FE56:789a (or FE80::212:34FF:FE56:789a, in short form).

Note: The reason for inverting the “U/L” bit is to allow ignoring it for short values in the manual configuration case. For example, you can manually assign the short address fc80::1 instead of the long fc80:0:0:0:0200::1.

Question 2

Which three are characteristics of IPv6? (Choose three)

A. An IPv6 address is 128 bits long.
B. An IPv6 header is 20 bits long.
C. An IPv6 header contains the next header field.
D. An IPv6 header contains the protocol field.
E. IPv6 routers send RA messages.
F. An IPv6 header contains the header checksum field.


Answer: A C E

Explanation

A & C are obviously correct based on the theory of IPv6.

When a client sends a Router Solicitation (RS) message, router responds with a Router Advertisement (RA) message which includes prefix, default route and lifetime (how long the host should retain information about the router) -> E is correct.

Question 3

When an IPv6 enabled host boots, it sends a router solicitation (RS) message. An IPv6 router responds with a router advertisement (RA). Which two items are contained in the RA? (Choose two)

A. IPv6 address for the host
B. lifetime of the prefix
C. prefixes for the link
D. keepalive timers
E. request for the local host IP address
F. any route advertisements it has received


Answer: B C

Question 4

What is IPv6 router solicitation?

A. a request made by a node to join a specified multicast group
B. a request made by a node for its IP address
C. a request made by a node for the IP address of the DHCP server
D. a request made by a node for the IP address of the local router


Answer: D

Question 5

Which statement is true about IPv6?

A. Only one IPv6 address is assigned per node.
B. Only one IPv6 address can be assigned to each interface.
C. Each host can autoconfigure its address without the aid of a DHCP setver.
D. IPv6 hosts use anycast addresses to assign IP addresses to interfaces.


Answer: C

Question 6

What does the command clear ipv6 ospf process accomplish?

A. The OSPF adjacencies are cleared and initiated again.
B. The route table is cleared. Then the OSPF neighbors are reformed.
C. The shortest path first (SPF) algorithm is performed on the LSA database.
D. The OSPF database is repopulated. Then the shortest path first (SPF) algorithm is performed.


Answer: D

Explanation

The command “clear ipv6 ospf” will clear the present routing table and force the OSPFv3 process to build a new one. This command is often used when something in the network was changed or for debugging purpose.

When the “process” keyword is added, which means “clear ipv6 ospf process”, the OSPF database is cleared and repopulated then the SPF algorithm is performed.

Question 7

Which statement is true about the command ipv6 ospf 1 area 0?

A. It must be issued in router global configuration mode to enable the OSPF process for IPv6.
B. It must be issued in interface configuration mode to enable the OSPF process for IPv6.
C. It must be issued before the network command to enable the OSPF process for IPv6.
D. It must be issued after the network command to enable the OSPF process for IPv6.


Answer: B

Question 8

Your trainee asks you, in the context of IPv6 and OSPF, what best describes a type 9 LSA? What should you tell her?

A. Link LSA
B. Interarea prefix LSA for ABRs
C. Router LSA
D. Switch LSA
E. Intra-area prefix LSA
F. None of the above


Answer: E

Question 9

You have been tasked with setting up OSPF on an existing router using IPv6. Which command enables OSPF for IPv6 on a router?

A. ipv6 router ospf process-id
B. router ospf process-id
C. router ospf ipv6 process-id
D. ipv6 ospf process-id area-id
E. None of the above


Answer: A

Explanation

The command “ipv6 router ospf process-id” is used to enable an OSPF process on the router. For example:

Router(config)#ipv6 router ospf 1

Note: This command is used in global configuration mode.

    To suddhoshil: Quest 6 is right. There are test banks that state that the answer is “A” and the test banks are incorrect. I looked up the answer on the Cisco Web site:

    “When the process keyword is used with the clear ipv6 ospf command, the OSPFv3 database is cleared and repopulated, and then the SPF algorithm is performed.”

    R1#show ipv6 neighbor

    IPv6 Address Age Link-layer Addr State Interface

    FE80::21E:79FF:FEAB:3141 2 001e.79ab.3141 STALE Gi0/1

    Which statement about this neighbor of R1 is true? Select the best response.

    A – OSPFv3 adjacency has been lost, which causes the neighbor to be considered Stale.
    B – Aggregate global addresses are always used between IPv6 neighbors.
    C – OSPFv3 adjacency will not work between link-local addresses.
    D – R1 used ICMP to learn about this neighbor

    Isn’t IPv6 only compatible with neighbor discovery protocol (NDP) and NOT ICMP ????

  6. shaolin
    October 28th, 2011

    @man

    NDP is an umbrella protocol that actually uses 5 types of ICMPv6 packets:
    - router solicitation
    - router advertisement
    - neighbor solicitation
    - neighbor advertisement
    - redirect message

    Hope that helps.

  7. cool
    November 13th, 2011

    Don’t mix ICMP with ARP,

    ARP ‘address resolution protocol” is for IPv4
    NDP ‘neighbor discovery protocol” is for IPv6

    ICMP is the ping echo

    Could someone pl explain this in Q1. I don’t understand what is meant about short address; how would it be permitted to assign like that?

    “Note: The reason for inverting the “U/L” bit is to allow ignoring it for short values in the manual configuration case. For example, you can manually assign the short address fc80::1 instead of the long fc80:0:0:0:0200::1.”

    Did he mean FE80:0:200::1 ?

    Hello Friends,

    I just started to study the ROUTE test after taking almost two years off from passing the CCNA. I am planning to take the ROUTE test in two months. Are the Sims, Drag and Drop, Questions, and everything else on this site still valid for the ROUTE test?

    Thank you all!

  17. Hi

    how many questions r on Ipv6?Is there any new quest othere than this?

  18. Alaa
    May 17th, 2012

    Question 9: Which command enables OSPF for IPv6 on a router? Shouldn’t the answer be D, “ipv6 ospf process-id area-id”, which is executed under an interface. This command is what enables OSPFv3. Doing the command “ipv6 router ospf process-id” goes under the process in order to do some configuration only, but not to enable it. If you were to execute this command first, it wouldn’t work until you configure one of the interfaces in an area. Right?

  19. mart
    June 1st, 2012

    doubt about Q4, a RS will trigger a RA that will advertise the global prefix that enable the node to to build its global ip address of the node. so B might be correct.

  20. imran shahid
    June 16th, 2012

    i agree with Alaa…Q7 and Q9 are contraditing with each other ..see the comment under Q9 it says command should be used in global config mode whereas in Q7 , it says option B which is interface level.
    Please comment

  21. tietuf
    June 20th, 2012

    @alaa

    The question mentioned that ipv6 should be enabled on the existing router which is running ospf… so it would be definitely ospfv2 where ipv6 is enabled in global mode. Option D would have been correct if ospfv3 was to be enabled.

  22. venok
    June 25th, 2012

    for question number 8, it should be

    E. Intra-area prefix LSA right?

  23. Swede
    June 29th, 2012

    Is Question 8 from an actual certification test??? The OFFICIAL Certification Guide for this very test only sais that type 9 is “Opaque”.

    This is the very reason I use sites like this one – how the hell are we supposed to learn stuff when it’s not even included in Cisco’s own training material?!

  24. Swede
    June 29th, 2012

    Same thing about Question 3: The official guide never mentions that IPv6 prefixes have a lifetime. Bah!

  25. Swede
    June 29th, 2012

    And again, Question 6, not a single word about this in the Official Certification Guide.

  26. Swede
    June 29th, 2012

    As for Q7 and Q9:

    ipv6 router ospf process-id enables OSPFv3 on the ROUTER.

    ipv6 ospf process-id area area-id enables OSPFv3 on the INTERFACE.

    So Q7=B and Q9=A

    (Also note that in Q9 answer D has the wrong syntax.)

  27. Swede
    June 29th, 2012

    In the explanation for Question 1, the U/L bit is mentioned as the 6th bit in the MAC. It is actually the 7th bit.

    That’s why 0012 becomes 0212:

    0×0012 = 0000 0000 0001 0010

    0×0212 = 0000 0010 0001 0010

  28. Liviu
    July 14th, 2012

    Swede, the explanation says start counting from zero, and you start counting from bit 1. So both explanations are correct.

I know it must take a lot of time and hardwork. We truly appreciate all you do.My question is many of us cannot access David’s music thogruh our country’s version of itunes or download music from Amazon. It would be a huge worry off my mind to know that we could purchase and download David’s music directly from this site particularly if he is going to release music thogruh EP’s and not discs going into the future. Just a heads up there is the first ever National Time Out For Women here in Australia on July 23rd. If David can’t tour here maybe one day he would be able to participate in a National TOFW or EFY? I believe every fan in Australia and New Zealand would come for a chance to see David live. lol

    In IPv6, the interfaces running OSPF can be configured with multiple address prefixes. Which statement is true about the IPv6 addresses that can be included into the OSPF process?

    Select the best response.

    A. Specific addresses cannot be selected for importation into the OSPF process.
    B. Specific addresses can be selected using an ACL.
    C. Specific addresses can be selected using a route map.
    D. Specific addresses can be selected using a prefix list.

    Ans given: A

    Can someone help to explain this? Thanks.

  35. WOO
    October 30th, 2012

    Question 6 is correct.

    The *MAIN* act taking place during a clear ip ospf process command is the forcing of an SPF calculation.

    No crap the neighbors go down and up, cuz you are bouncing the whole process. You need to find the BEST answer.

  36. MMI
    October 31st, 2012

    @DK
    I think that A is correct because in OSPFv3 you cannot use “network command” to match interfaces where you want to run ospf on (like you can do in OSPFv2).
    In OSPFv3 you have to go under the interface and type “ipv6 ospf area ”
    (this also confirms that Swede’s comment about Q9′s answer D is true => answer D has wrong sintax)

    Question 1

    Answer “MAC address” is not correct for Windows Vista and Windows 7/8 operating systems. They generate random hostID part of address by default. Though this can be changed with:

    netsh interface ipv6 set privacy state=disabled store=active
    netsh interface ipv6 set privacy state=disabled store=persistent
    netsh interface ipv6 set global randomizeidentifiers=disabled store=active
    netsh interface ipv6 set global randomizeidentifiers=disabled store=persistent

    @DK

    From Cisco- it’s talking about which v6 addresses on an interface are imported into OSPF when you use the interface command:

    “In IPv6, users can configure many address prefixes on an interface. In OSPFv3, all address prefixes on an interface are included by default. Users cannot select some address prefixes to be imported into OSPFv3; either all address prefixes on an interface are imported, or no address prefixes on an interface are imported.”

    I would like to explain about Question 9 a little. Its answer is not for interface subcommand.
    It is a command to enter ipv6 ospf router configuration mode .It is used to configure vitrual link,stub,NSSA,etc.So , you don’t need to confuse about this answer.The question asks to setting up ospf in ipv6 router, not to enable ospfv3 on the interface.
