300-410 Practice Question: Runs the following command to troubleshoot DHCPv6…

A network engineer runs the following command to troubleshoot DHCPv6 address assignment on router R1:

R1# show ipv6 dhcp binding

Output: Client: FE80::21A:2BFF:FE3C:4D01 DUID: 0003000121A2B3C4D5E6

Username: unassigned

VRF: default IA NA: IA ID 0x00040001, T1 302400, T2 483840 Address: 2001:DB8:1::100 Preferred lifetime 604800, valid lifetime 2592000 Expires at Mar 01 2025 12:00 PM (2592000 seconds) IA PD: IA ID 0x00040002, T1 302400, T2 483840 Prefix: 2001:DB8:1::/48 Preferred lifetime 604800, valid lifetime 2592000 Expires at Mar 01 2025 12:00 PM (2592000 seconds)

What does this output indicate?

⚠ Common exam trap

Cisco often tests the distinction between IA_NA (address assignment) and IA_PD (prefix delegation), and candidates may overlook the IA_PD section, assuming only an address was assigned.

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

The DHCPv6 server has assigned both an IPv6 address and a prefix delegation to the client.

The output shows both an IA_NA (Identity Association for Non-temporary Address) with an IPv6 address (2001:DB8:1::100) and an IA_PD (Identity Association for Prefix Delegation) with a prefix (2001:DB8:1::/48). This confirms that the DHCPv6 server has assigned both a global unicast address and a delegated prefix to the client, making option B correct.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

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

  • The DHCPv6 server has assigned only an IPv6 address to the client.

    Why it's wrong here

    The output shows both an IA NA (address) and an IA PD (prefix delegation).

  • The DHCPv6 server has assigned both an IPv6 address and a prefix delegation to the client.

    Why this is correct

    The IA NA section shows an address assignment, and the IA PD section shows a prefix delegation, both with lifetimes.

  • The DHCPv6 client is using stateless autoconfiguration (SLAAC) because no address is shown.

    Why it's wrong here

    An address is shown under IA NA, indicating stateful DHCPv6.

  • The DHCPv6 server has a pool with only one prefix available.

    Why it's wrong here

    The output only shows one binding; it does not indicate the size of the pool.
