ICND1: Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 1 (CCENT, legacy) — Question 32

Which technology supports the stateless assignment of IPv6 addresses?

Answer options

• A. DNS
• B. DHCPv6
• C. DHCP
• D. autoconfiguration D

Correct answer:

Explanation

The correct answer is D. autoconfiguration, as it allows devices to automatically generate their own IPv6 addresses without needing a server. While DHCPv6 (option B) can assign IPv6 addresses, it is stateful, requiring a server to manage the leases. DNS (option A) and DHCP (option C) do not support the stateless assignment of IPv6 addresses.
