300-410 Practice Question: Which THREE commands can be used to troubleshoot…

Which THREE commands can be used to troubleshoot DHCPv6 client address assignment issues on a Cisco IOS router acting as a DHCPv6 client? (Choose THREE.)

⚠ Common exam trap

Cisco often tests the distinction between DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 commands, expecting candidates to know that 'show ip dhcp binding' is IPv4-only and 'show ipv6 dhcp pool' is server-side, not client-side.

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

show ipv6 dhcp interface

'show ipv6 dhcp interface' displays the DHCPv6 client state, including the assigned IPv6 address, prefix, and server information for a specific interface. This command directly shows whether the client has successfully obtained an address via DHCPv6.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • show ipv6 dhcp interface

    Why this is correct

    Displays DHCPv6 client state, server address, and lease information.

  • debug ipv6 dhcp detail

    Why this is correct

    Shows detailed DHCPv6 message exchanges for troubleshooting.

  • show ipv6 interface

    Why this is correct

    Shows the IPv6 address assigned via DHCPv6 on the interface.

  • show ip dhcp binding

    Why it's wrong here

    This command is for DHCPv4 server bindings, not DHCPv6 client.

  • show ipv6 dhcp pool

    Why it's wrong here

    This shows server-side DHCPv6 pool configuration, not client information.
