CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 857

A network administrator is switching to IPv6 and wants to be able to use packet-tracing software on the network to monitor traffic. The administrator wants to set up the IP addressing to include the MAC address of each machine that is connected. Which of the following should the administrator implement? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. EUI-64
• B. RFC1819
• C. APIPA
• D. DHCPv6
• E. SLAAC
• F. CIDR

Correct answer: A, E

Explanation

EUI-64 is utilized to automatically generate IPv6 addresses from a device's MAC address, making it a suitable choice. SLAAC also allows devices to self-configure their IPv6 addresses using their MAC addresses, hence it is the second correct answer. The other options, such as DHCPv6 and APIPA, do not directly relate to embedding MAC addresses in IPv6 addressing.
