300-410 Practice Question: Runs the following command to verify IPv6 device…

A network engineer runs the following command to verify IPv6 device tracking:

R1# show ipv6 device-tracking database

  Interface  MAC Address       VLAN  IPv6 Address                    State         Age  Policy

Fa0/0 0011.2233.4455 10 2001:db8::1 ACTIVE 10 TRUSTED Fa0/0 00aa.bbcc.ddee 10 2001:db8::2 ACTIVE 5 INSPECT Fa0/0 1111.2222.3333 10 2001:db8::3 VERIFY 0 -

What does this output indicate?

⚠ Common exam trap

Cisco often tests the distinction between ACTIVE and VERIFY states in IPv6 device tracking, where candidates mistakenly assume all entries are stable (ACTIVE) or that VERIFY indicates a failure, rather than recognizing it as a normal transitional state during ND verification.

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

Device tracking shows two devices in ACTIVE state and one in VERIFY state, indicating ongoing ND verification for the third device.

The output shows three entries: two in ACTIVE state (indicating successful ND verification) and one in VERIFY state (meaning the device is currently undergoing Neighbor Discovery verification). The VERIFY state with age 0 indicates that the device has been recently discovered and is being validated before transitioning to ACTIVE. This confirms that device tracking is actively monitoring IPv6 devices, with ongoing ND verification for the third device.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

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

  • Device tracking shows two devices in ACTIVE state and one in VERIFY state, indicating ongoing ND verification for the third device.

    Why this is correct

    The VERIFY state means the device is being validated before becoming active.

  • All devices are in ACTIVE state, indicating stable tracking.

    Why it's wrong here

    One device is in VERIFY state, not active.

  • Device tracking is disabled, and the database is empty.

    Why it's wrong here

    The database has three entries, so it is not empty.

  • Device tracking only tracks IPv4 addresses.

    Why it's wrong here

    The output shows IPv6 addresses, so it tracks IPv6.
