Which of the following enables administrators to monitor the traffic outbound and inbound to the switch?

IPv6 Loopback Address

IPv6 equivalent of the loopback address 127.0.0.1 is 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 (or simply ::1).
Loopback addresses in IPv6 are reserved similar to IPv4.

Class B IP Address

Class B addresses range from 128 to 191.
129.16.12.200 is classified as a Class B address; others are Class A or C.

DHCP Server Failure

Systems with an IP address from the 169.254.x.x range indicate a failed DHCP server configuration (APIPA).
An address of 0.0.0.0 typically means the system lacks APIPA support, not a normal DHCP failure.

IPv6 Address Types

IPv6 employs three main address types: unicast, multicast, and anycast.
IPv6 does not use broadcast addressing, unlike IPv4.

Private IP Address Ranges

Recognized private IP ranges include:
- 10.x.x.x
- 172.16.x.x to 172.31.x.x
- 192.168.x.x
127.0.0.1 is for loopback and not a private range.

Recognized Private Address Ranges

131.16.0.0 to 131.16.255.255 is not a private IP address range.
Private address ranges include those within 10.x.x.x, 172.x.x.x (specified subnet), and 192.168.x.x.

Subnet Mask Configuration

For an assigned public IP of 203.15.226.12 with /24 notation, the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
/24 indicates that the first three octets are used for the subnet mask.

Subnet Value Issues

Spencer’s subnet mask of 255.255.248.0 is incorrect compared to Evan’s 255.255.255.0.
Both users should share the same subnet mask for proper communication.

Default Gateway Function

The default gateway provides routing paths for local networks to reach external destinations.
It enables inter-subnet communications; incorrect interpretations describe its role inaccurately.

Hop Count Definition

Hop count refers to the number of intermediary devices (hops) a data packet passes through to reach a destination node.

Router Assignment Protocol

The Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) automatically assigns routers to hosts for improved routing reliability.

Traffic Monitoring on Switches

Port mirroring allows visibility into the flow of inbound and outbound traffic on a switch.
This is crucial for monitoring network performance and troubleshooting.

Test your knowledge on IPv6 concepts, including loopback addresses, Class B IP addresses, DHCP server issues, and private IP ranges. This quiz covers fundamental aspects of networking and IP address classification. Challenge yourself and enhance your understanding of network protocols and addressing schemes.
