CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 1210

Which action must be taken to assign a global unicast IPv6 address on an interface that is derived from the MAC address of that interface?

Answer options

• A. explicitly assign a link-local address
• B. disable the EUI-64 bit process
• C. enable SLAAC on an interface
• D. configure a stateful DHCPv6 server on the network

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as enabling Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC) allows the interface to automatically configure its global unicast IPv6 address based on the MAC address. Options A and B do not directly facilitate the assignment of a global unicast address, while option D involves using a DHCPv6 server, which is not necessary for an address derived from the MAC address.
