CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 1246

Which type of IPv6 address is similar to a unicast address but is assigned to multiple devices on the same network at the same time?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, anycast address, which allows multiple devices to share the same address while routing traffic to the nearest device. The other options do not fulfill this requirement: A refers to individual devices, B is limited to local network communication, and D is used for sending data to multiple devices but does not match the unicast-like assignment described.
