IP Addressing

Reflecting on your experience, why do you think transitioning to IPv6 is important?

• It is not important as IPv4 is sufficient.
• It has no impact on internet security.
• It is important for accommodating the growing number of devices connected to the internet.
• It complicates networking unnecessarily.

How many unique addresses does IPv4 allow?

• Over 4 billion unique addresses.
• Only 256 unique addresses.
• An undecillion unique addresses.
• Approximately 16 million unique addresses.

What is the primary difference between IPv4 and IPv6 addressing?

• IPv4 addresses consist of eight segments, while IPv6 addresses consist of four.
• IPv4 allows for an undecillion unique addresses, while IPv6 allows for over 4 billion.
• IPv4 is a 32-bit address, whereas IPv6 is a 128-bit address.
• IPv4 uses hexadecimal representation while IPv6 uses denary.

Which of the following is an example of an IPv4 address?

• FF00:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001
• 192.168.1.1/24
• 145.13.218.102
• 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334

Based on the differences in address capacity, what implication does the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 have?

• It reduces the number of available IP addresses.
• It allows for a significantly larger number of unique addresses.
• It complicates network configurations.
• It eliminates the need for IP addressing altogether.

What is the structure of an IPv4 address?

• It consists of eight 16-bit segments separated by colons.
• It consists of four 8-bit segments separated by full stops.
• It consists of a single 128-bit segment represented in hexadecimal.
• It consists of two 32-bit segments separated by slashes.

What is the main reason for adopting IPv6 in modern networking?

• To eliminate the need for IP addressing.
• To maintain compatibility with older systems.
• To increase the number of available IP addresses.
• To reduce the complexity of network configurations.

How does the structure of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses differ in terms of segments?

• IPv4 has four segments while IPv6 has eight segments.
• IPv4 has six segments while IPv6 has ten segments.
• IPv4 has eight segments while IPv6 has four segments.
• Both IPv4 and IPv6 have the same number of segments.

What is the significance of hexadecimal representation in IPv6?

• It simplifies the representation of binary data.
• It allows for a smaller address space.
• It is used to represent IPv4 addresses.
• It has no significance in modern networking.

Which of the following best describes the representation of IPv6 addresses?

• They are represented in denary and consist of four segments.
• They are represented in hexadecimal and consist of eight segments.
• They are represented in binary and consist of six segments.
• They are represented in octal and consist of ten segments.
