Huawei Certified ICT Associate – Data Center Network (HCIA-DCN) — Question 22

Which of the following statements about IPv6 anycast addresses are true? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. Packets destined for an anycast address are sent to the nearest interface identified based on the routing distance.
• B. Anycast and unicast addresses use the same address space.
• C. IPv6 anycast addresses provide redundancy functions for services.
• D. IPv6 anycast addresses implement load balancing for services.

Correct answer: A, C, D

Explanation

Option A is correct because anycast addresses direct packets to the nearest endpoint based on routing metrics. Option C is also correct, as anycast can provide redundancy by allowing multiple nodes to share the same address. Option D is valid as well, since anycast can distribute traffic among several servers, but Option B is incorrect because anycast addresses have a distinct purpose and are not in the same address space as unicast addresses.
