CCNA Routing and Switching (legacy) — Question 164

Which three are characteristics of an IPv6 anycast address? (Choose three)

Answer options

• A. one-to-many communication model.
• B. delivery of packets to the group interface that is closest to the sending device.
• C. any-to-many communication model.
• D. a unique IPv6 address for each device in the group.
• E. the same address for multiple devices in the group.
• F. one-to-nearest communication model.

Correct answer: B, E, F

Explanation

The correct answer includes B, E, and F because an IPv6 anycast address delivers packets to the nearest interface (B), allows multiple devices to share the same address (E), and follows a one-to-nearest communication model (F). Options A and C are incorrect as they describe different communication models not applicable to anycast addressing, and D is incorrect because anycast does not require unique addresses for each device.
