Question

An engineer must configure the IPv6 address 2001:0db8:0000:0000:0700:0003:400F:572B on the serial0/0 interface of the HQ router and wants to compress it for easier configuration. Which command must be issued on the router interface?

Why each option

This question tests the ability to correctly compress an IPv6 address for easier configuration by applying standard compression rules.

Aipv6 address 2001:db8::700:3:400F:572BCorrect

The IPv6 address 2001:0db8:0000:0000:0700:0003:400F:572B is compressed by removing leading zeros from each 16-bit segment (e.g., '0db8' becomes 'db8', '0700' becomes '700', '0003' becomes '3') and by replacing the longest sequence of contiguous zero segments ('0000:0000') with a double colon '::'. This results in 2001:db8::700:3:400F:572B.

Bipv6 address 2001:db8:0::700:3:4F:572B

This option incorrectly compresses '400F' to '4F' by removing a non-existent leading zero, and incorrectly compresses '0000:0000' to just one '0' then '::', which is not a valid compression.

Cipv6 address 2001:Odb8::7:3:4F:572B

This option incorrectly compresses 'db8' to 'd8' and '700' to '7', which are not valid IPv6 compression rules, and omits significant portions of the address incorrectly.

Dipv6 address 2001::db8:0000::700:3:400F:572B

This option uses multiple double colons '::', which is not allowed in IPv6 compression as it would create ambiguity.
