300-410 Practice Question: Runs the following command on Router R1: R1# show…

A network engineer runs the following command on Router R1:

R1# show ipv6 dhcp interface GigabitEthernet0/1

GigabitEthernet0/1 is in server mode Using pool: POOL6 Preference value: 0 Hint from client: ignored Rapid-Commit: disabled

Based on this output, which statement is correct?

⚠ Common exam trap

Cisco often tests the ability to read the exact output of 'show ipv6 dhcp interface' and distinguish between server, client, and relay modes, where candidates may misinterpret 'server mode' as client mode or overlook the 'Rapid-Commit: disabled' line.

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 interface is configured as a DHCPv6 server using pool POOL6.

The command output explicitly states 'GigabitEthernet0/1 is in server mode' and 'Using pool: POOL6', which confirms that the interface is acting as a DHCPv6 server. The DHCPv6 server assigns IPv6 addresses and other configuration parameters from the specified pool to requesting clients.

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 interface is configured as a DHCPv6 client.

    Why it's wrong here

    It is in server mode.

  • The interface is configured as a DHCPv6 server using pool POOL6.

    Why this is correct

    Server mode with pool specified.

  • The interface is using rapid-commit for faster address assignment.

    Why it's wrong here

    Rapid-commit is disabled.

  • The interface is in DHCPv6 relay mode.

    Why it's wrong here

    It is in server mode, not relay.
