CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 100

Which type of IPv6 address is publicly routable in the same way as IPv4 public addresses?

Answer options

• A. multicast
• B. unique local
• C. link-local
• D. global unicast

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, global unicast, as these addresses are designed to be globally unique and routable on the internet, much like IPv4 public addresses. Options A, B, and C are not publicly routable; multicast addresses are for one-to-many communication, unique local addresses are for private networks, and link-local addresses are for communication within a single network segment.
