Lab – Identify IPv6 Addresses
Topology
Objectives
Part 1: Practice with Different Types of IPv6 Addresses
Part 2: Examine a Host IPv6 Network Interface and Address
Background / Scenario
With the depletion of the Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) network address space and the adoption and
transition to IPv6, networking professionals must understand how both IPv4 and IPv6 networks function.
Many devices and applications already support IPv6. This includes extensive Cisco device Internetwork
Operating System (IOS) support and workstation/server operating system support, such as that found in
Windows and Linux.
This lab focuses on IPv6 addresses and the components of the address. In Part 1, you will identify the IPv6
address types and IPv6 addresses abbreviation. In Part 2, you will view the IPv6 settings on a PC.
Required Resources
● 1 PC (Windows with Internet access)
Instructions
Part 1: Practice with Different Types of IPv6 Addresses
In this part, you will identify the different types of IPv6 addresses and practice compressing and
decompressing IPv6 addresses.
Step 1: Match the IPv6 address to its type.
Match the IPv6 addresses to their corresponding address type. Notice that the addresses have been compressed
to their abbreviated notation and that the slash network prefix number is not shown. Some answer choices must
be used more than once.
Answer choices:
a. Loopback address
b. Global unicast address
c. Link-local address
