Refer to the exhibit. A company is deploying an IPv6 addressing scheme for its network. The company design document indicates that the subnet portion of the IPv6 addresses is used for the new hierarchical network design, with the site subsection to represent multiple geographical sites of the company, the sub-site section to represent multiple campuses at each site, and the subnet section to indicate each network segment separated by routers. With such a scheme, what is the maximum number of subnets achieved per sub-site?

Tobias Burton · Answer 1

Maximum number of subsets that can be achieved per sub-site is 16.

Explanation:

IPV6 is the most latest internet protocol. Following is an example of IPV6 ip address

2001:cdba:0000:0000:0000:0000::/64

In IPV6 all zeros can be omitted or can be replaced with a single zero.

So we can write it as

2001:cdba:0000::/64

First zero in here represent site

2nd and third zero represent subsite.

4th zero represent subnet.

0 here is representation of subnet which is a hexadecimal value.

A single hexadecimal value can have following 16 values

0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, A, B, C, D, E, F
