CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 63

Which IPv6 address block forwards packets to a multicast address rather than a unicast address?

Answer options

• A. 2000::/3
• B. FC00::/7
• C. FE80::/10
• D. FF00::/12

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, FF00::/12, as this range is specifically designated for multicast addresses in IPv6. The other options represent different categories of IPv6 addresses: A is for global unicast, B is for unique local addresses, and C is for link-local addresses, none of which serve multicast purposes.
