Which statements are TRUE regarding Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) addresses? (Choose
three.)
A.
An IPv6 address is divided into eight 16-bit groups.
B.
A double colon (::) can only be used once in a single IPv6 address.
C.
IPv6 addresses are 196 bits in length.
D.
Leading zeros cannot be omitted in an IPv6 address.
E.
Groups with a value of 0 can be represented with a single 0 in IPv6 address.
Explanation:
IPv6 addresses are divided into eight 16-bit groups, a double colon (::) can only be used once in
an IPv6 address, and groups with a value of 0 can be represented with a single 0 in an IPv6
address.
The following statements are also true regarding IPv6 address:
IPv6 addresses are 128 bits in length.
Eight 16-bit groups are divided by a colon (:).
Multiple groups of 16-bit 0s can be represented with double colon (::).
Double colons (::) represent only 0s.
Leading zeros can be omitted in an IPv6 address.
The option stating that IPv6 addresses are 196 bits in length is incorrect. IPv6 addresses are 128
bits in length.
The option stating that leading zeros cannot be omitted in an IPv6 address is incorrect. Leading
zeros can be omitted in an IPv6 address.
This is too funny. There is an answer in the description and it’s not selected:
“Leading zeros can be omitted in an IPv6 address”
Answer is A, B and D.
Groups of 0s ARE represented with :: NOT a 0. E is incorrect.
It says “cannot”…. hmm… need to pay attention to wording…
I guess the answers make sense then…
