Loopback addresses belong to the block 127.0.0.0/8.
What are the three characteristics of multicast transmission?
1) A single packet can be sent to a group of hosts. 2) The range of 224.0.0.0 to 224.0.0.255 is reserved to reach multicast groups on a local network. 3) Multicast transmission can be used by routers to exchange routing information.
What two things can be determined by using the ping command?
1) The destination device is reachable through the network 2) The average time it takes a packet to reach the destination and for the response to return to the source
What are three parts of an IPv6 global unicast address?
1) an interface ID that is used to identify the local host on the network 2) a subnet ID that is used to identify networks inside of the local enterprise site 3) a global routing prefix that is used to identify the network portion of the address that has been provided by an ISP
Match the IPv6 address with the IPv6 address type. 1) 2001:DB8::BAF:3F57:FE94 2) FF02::1 3) ::1 4) FF02::1:FFAE:F85F
1) global unicast 2) all node multicast 3) loopback 4) solicited node multicast Refer to curriculum topic: 7.2.5 FF02::1:FFAE:F85F is a solicited node multicast address. 2001:DB8::BAF:3F57:FE94 is a global unicast address. FF02::1 is the all node multicast address. Packets sent to this address will be received by all IPv6 hosts on the local link. ::1 is the IPv6 loopback address. There are no examples of link local or unique local addresses provided.

The last host address on the 10.15.25.0/24 network is
10.15.25.254 or 254 or 10.15.25.254/24 Refer to curriculum topic: 7.1.2 The host portion of the last host address will contain all 1 bits with a 0 bit for the lowest order or rightmost bit. This address is always one less than the broadcast address. The range of addresses for the network 10.15.25.0/24 is 10.15.25.0 (network address) through 10.15.25.255 (broadcast address). So the last host address for this network is 10.15.25.254.
