CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 714

A technician wants to assign addresses to PCs on a subnet that uses IPv4 and IPv6. The DHCP server only supports IPv4. Which of the following can the technician use to assign IPv6 addresses without DHCP?

Answer options

• A. SLAAC
• B. APIPA
• C. MAC reservation
• D. IPv4 to IPv6 tunnel

Correct answer: A

Explanation

SLAAC (Stateless Address Autoconfiguration) allows devices to automatically configure their own IPv6 addresses without needing a DHCP server. APIPA is used for automatic private IP address assignment in IPv4 and does not apply to IPv6, while MAC reservation is related to IPv4 DHCP configurations. An IPv4 to IPv6 tunnel is a method for transmitting IPv6 packets over an IPv4 network, but it does not assign IPv6 addresses.
