How does EUI-64 command set up the IP? | Takes 48-bit MAC address and add FF:FE (16 bits) to the middle of it to make 64 bits. |
Why are you only allowed to use double colons to shorten IPv6 address once? | Used more than once address could be ambiguous (more than one possible expanded address). |
What is a Double Stack? | When an interface has both an IPv4 and IPv6 address. |
Why must you issue the 'no ipv6 address' command instead of just overwriting it with a new address? | Interface can have multiple IPv6 addresses so you are not able to overwrite if you made a mistake. |
What is the difference between multicast and anycast? | Anycast is only delivered to a single device, multicast delivered to multiple. |
