Dell EMC Specialist – Systems Administrator, VNX — Question 1

Using the MAC 8c-ec-4b-5b-61-9d, what is a valid EUI-64 link local address?

Answer options

• A. 2001::a9:8eec:4bff:fc5b:619d
• B. fe80::a9:8cec:4bff:fe5b:619d
• C. ff80:a9:8eec:4bff:fe5b:619d
• D. fe80::a9:8eec:4bff:fe5b:619d

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, which conforms to the EUI-64 format for link-local addresses, starting with 'fe80::'. Options A and C start with '2001::' and 'ff80:', respectively, indicating global or multicast addresses, which are not valid for link-local. Option D is incorrect because it has a typo in the MAC conversion, which should reflect the correct insertion of bits.
