How should I approach 200-901 scenario questions?

Read the full scenario before looking at the answer options. Identify the constraint or requirement in the scenario, then eliminate options that are generally true but wrong for this specific case. Scenario questions reward careful reading over pattern matching.

How to approach ipv6 configuration scenarios

IPv6 questions test address types (global unicast, link-local, multicast, anycast), address assignment (SLAAC, DHCPv6, EUI-64), OSPFv3, and dual-stack. The CCNA often presents an IPv6 address and asks you to identify the prefix, type, or calculate the EUI-64 interface ID.

Quick answer

IPv6 questions usually test address types (link-local, global unicast, ULA), autoconfiguration (SLAAC), Neighbor Discovery Protocol and the differences from IPv4.

IPv6 address types and their scopes (link-local, global unicast, multicast, ULA).

SLAAC vs DHCPv6 vs stateful assignment.

Neighbor Discovery Protocol replacing ARP.

IPv6 routing differences and dual-stack coexistence.

Practice scenarios

Question 1hardmultiple choice

Study the full IPv6 explanation →

An IPv6-enabled host is trying to discover the MAC address of another host on the same link. The host knows the destination IPv6 address but does not have a corresponding entry in the neighbor cache. Which protocol and message type does the host use?

A
Neighbor Advertisement (ICMPv6 type 136)
Why wrong: NA is the reply, not the request.
B
Router Solicitation (ICMPv6 type 133)
Why wrong: RS is for router discovery.
C
Neighbor Solicitation (ICMPv6 type 135)
NS is used for address resolution.
D
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
Why wrong: IPv6 does not use ARP.

Question 2hardmulti select

Study the full IPv6 explanation →

Which THREE of the following are characteristics of IPv6? (Select exactly three.)

A
IPv6 does not have a built-in NAT requirement.
IPv6 was designed with enough address space to avoid NAT.
B
IPv6 uses a 128-bit address space.
Correct, 128-bit addresses.
C
IPv6 addresses are 32 bits in length.
Why wrong: IPv6 addresses are 128 bits.
D
IPv6 supports stateless address autoconfiguration (SLAAC).
SLAAC allows hosts to configure an address without DHCP.
E
IPv6 uses ARP to resolve MAC addresses.
Why wrong: IPv6 uses Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) instead of ARP.

Question 3mediummultiple choice

Which DNS record type is used to map a domain name to an IPv6 address?

A
CNAME
Why wrong: CNAME is an alias.
B
MX
Why wrong: MX is for mail exchange.
C
A
Why wrong: A record maps to IPv4.
D
AAAA
Correct. AAAA maps to IPv6.

Which DNS record type is used to map a domain name to an IPv6 address?

A
A
Why wrong: A record maps to IPv4.
B
AAAA
AAAA record maps to IPv6.
C
CNAME
Why wrong: CNAME is an alias.
D
MX
Why wrong: MX is for mail servers.

Question 5mediummulti select

A network administrator is configuring a DNS server. Which TWO DNS record types are used for IPv6 address resolution?

A
MX record
Why wrong: MX records specify mail servers.
B
CNAME record
Why wrong: CNAME is an alias, not for address resolution.
C
PTR record
PTR records are used for reverse DNS lookup, which also works with IPv6.
D
AAAA record
AAAA records map to IPv6 addresses.
E
A record
Why wrong: A records are for IPv4 addresses.

Question 6easymultiple choice

Study the full IPv6 explanation →

Which IPv6 address type is equivalent to a private IPv4 address?

A
Multicast
Why wrong: Multicast addresses are for one-to-many communication and are not private.
B
Global unicast
Why wrong: Global unicast addresses are public and routable on the Internet.
C
Link-local
Why wrong: Link-local addresses are only usable on a single link and not routable.
D
Unique local
Unique local addresses are private and not globally routable.
