Question 30
For this Cisco ENSLD design case: During a predeployment review for a logistics division, the team discovers this design gap: an IPv6 enterprise wants consistent addressing across 70 routed VLANs and has a provider-delegated /48. An approval gate requires both a measurable acceptance check and a durable prevention control. Which technical principle BEST explains the design decision?
Explanation
Correct Answer
IPv6 LAN autoconfiguration normally relies on a /64 subnet; a /48 supports many distinct /64 subnets. The correct engineering response is: Assign a unique /64 to each VLAN from the delegated /48 while reserving structured blocks for future sites. The observable check is: Each VLAN has a unique /64 and clients form valid IPv6 addresses with correct gateway reachability. The logistics division acceptance record also captures this result.
Incorrect Answers
IPv6 LAN autoconfiguration normally relies on a /64 subnet; a /48 supports many distinct /64 subnets. The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: a /26 offers 62 usable conventional host addresses; a /25 offers 126, so /26 cannot accommodate 108 endpoints. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.
IPv6 LAN autoconfiguration normally relies on a /64 subnet; a /48 supports many distinct /64 subnets. The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: Hierarchical IPv6 prefix planning supports route summarization and stable per-link /64 subnets. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.
IPv6 LAN autoconfiguration normally relies on a /64 subnet; a /48 supports many distinct /64 subnets. The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: RFC 3021 /31s can use both addresses on point-to-point links without ordinary network and broadcast host reservations. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.
