300-410 Practice Question: Which TWO configuration steps are required to…
Which TWO configuration steps are required to enable a Cisco IOS router as a stateful DHCPv6 server for clients on interface GigabitEthernet0/0? (Choose TWO.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between server-side and client-side DHCPv6 commands, and the trap here is that candidates confuse 'ipv6 dhcp server' (server) with 'ipv6 dhcp client' (client) or think that enabling IPv6 on the interface alone is sufficient for DHCPv6 operation.
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
✓
Configure a DHCPv6 pool with the 'ipv6 dhcp pool POOL_NAME' command and define an address prefix.
The 'ipv6 dhcp pool POOL_NAME' command creates a DHCPv6 pool, and defining an address prefix within that pool is required to specify the IPv6 addresses that the server can assign to clients. This is the fundamental step for configuring a stateful DHCPv6 server, as the pool holds the address allocation parameters.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Configure a DHCPv6 pool with the 'ipv6 dhcp pool POOL_NAME' command and define an address prefix.
Why this is correct
The pool defines the address range and parameters for stateful assignment.
- ✓
Apply the DHCPv6 pool to the interface using 'ipv6 dhcp server POOL_NAME' under the interface configuration.
Why this is correct
This enables the DHCPv6 server on that interface.
- ✗
Configure the interface with 'ipv6 dhcp client POOL_NAME'.
Why it's wrong here
This command is used on a client, not a server.
- ✗
Set the 'ipv6 nd managed-config-flag' on the interface.
Why it's wrong here
This flag tells clients to use DHCPv6, but it is not a server configuration step.
- ✗
Enable IPv6 on the interface with 'ipv6 enable'.
Why it's wrong here
This enables IPv6 but does not configure the DHCPv6 server.
