CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 9

Which IPv6 address block sends packets to a group address rather than a single address?

Answer options

• A. 2000::/3
• B. FC00::/7
• C. FE80::/10
• D. FF00::/8

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, FF00::/8, which is designated for multicast addresses in IPv6, allowing packets to be sent to multiple destinations. The other options represent different types of addresses: A is for global unicast, B is for unique local addresses, and C is for link-local addresses, all of which target specific hosts rather than groups.
