200-301 · Question #1100
Refer to the exhibit. A public IPv6 address must be configured for internet access. Which command must be configured on the R2 WAN interface to the service provider?
The correct answer is C. ipv6 address 2001:db8:123:45::4/64. To provide internet access, the R2 WAN interface requires a globally unique IPv6 address, which is typically a global unicast address with a /64 prefix.

Why each option
To provide internet access, the R2 WAN interface requires a globally unique IPv6 address, which is typically a global unicast address with a /64 prefix.
The `fe80::/10` prefix designates a link-local address, which is only valid on the local link and not routable over the internet for public access.
While appearing as a global unicast address, the `2001:db8::/32` range is reserved for documentation and example purposes, not for actual public internet assignment, and the `anycast` keyword implies a specific use case not generally for a primary WAN interface.
This command assigns a global unicast IPv6 address from the `2001:db8::/32` documentation range (commonly used in exams to represent public addresses) with a /64 prefix to the interface, which is the correct type and format for internet accessibility.
The `fe80::` prefix and the `link-local` keyword explicitly identify this as a link-local address, which is non-routable beyond the local segment and cannot provide internet access.
