Question

In Stateful DHCPv6, when the client receives the network prefix, what does the host use to generate the remainder of its IPv6 address?

a) Router Advertisement
b) Neighbor Solicitation
c) Stateless DHCPv6
d) EUI-64 algorithm

Answer 1

In Stateful DHCPv6, the host uses the EUI-64 algorithm to generate the remainder of its IPv6 address.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Stateful DHCPv6, when the client receives the network prefix, it uses the EUI-64 algorithm to generate the remainder of its IPv6 address.

The EUI-64 algorithm takes the client's 48-bit MAC address, inserts the FFFE sequence in the middle, and flips the seventh bit to create a 64-bit identifier.

For example, if the MAC address is 00:11:22:33:44:55, the EUI-64 identifier will be 02:11:22:ff:fe:33:44:55.
