200-301 · Question #644

An engineer is configuring router R1 with an IPv6 static route for prefix 2019:C15C:0CAF:E001::/64. The next hop must be 2019:C15C:0CAF:E002::1. The route must be reachable via the R1 Gigabit 0/0 inte

The correct answer is A. R1(config)#ipv6 route 2019:C15C:0CAF:E001::/64 2019:C15C:0CAF:E002::1. To configure an IPv6 static route, the command ipv6 route is used in global configuration mode, specifying the destination prefix and the next-hop IPv6 address.

Question

An engineer is configuring router R1 with an IPv6 static route for prefix 2019:C15C:0CAF:E001::/64. The next hop must be 2019:C15C:0CAF:E002::1. The route must be reachable via the R1 Gigabit 0/0 interface. Which command configures the designated route?

Options

  • AR1(config)#ipv6 route 2019:C15C:0CAF:E001::/64 2019:C15C:0CAF:E002::1
  • BR1(config-if)#ipv6 route 2019:C15C:0CAF:E001::/64 2019:C15C:0CAF:E002::1
  • CR1(config-if)#ip route 2019:C15C:0CAF:E001::/64 GigabitEthernet0/0
  • DR1(config)#ip route 2019:C15C:0CAF:E001::/64 GigabitEthernet0/0

Why each option

To configure an IPv6 static route, the command `ipv6 route` is used in global configuration mode, specifying the destination prefix and the next-hop IPv6 address.

AR1(config)#ipv6 route 2019:C15C:0CAF:E001::/64 2019:C15C:0CAF:E002::1Correct

The correct command syntax for configuring an IPv6 static route is `ipv6 route [destination-prefix] [next-hop-ipv6-address]` issued from global configuration mode (`R1(config)#`). This command correctly specifies the IPv6 destination prefix (2019:C15C:0CAF:E001::/64) and the IPv6 next-hop address (2019:C15C:0CAF:E002::1).

BR1(config-if)#ipv6 route 2019:C15C:0CAF:E001::/64 2019:C15C:0CAF:E002::1

This command is incorrect because `ipv6 route` commands are configured in global configuration mode (`(config)#`), not interface configuration mode (`(config-if)#`).

CR1(config-if)#ip route 2019:C15C:0CAF:E001::/64 GigabitEthernet0/0

This command is incorrect because it uses `ip route` which is for IPv4, not IPv6, and it's in interface configuration mode, which is wrong for global static routes.

DR1(config)#ip route 2019:C15C:0CAF:E001::/64 GigabitEthernet0/0

This command is incorrect because it uses `ip route` which is for IPv4, not IPv6, as indicated by the prefix 2019:C15C:0CAF:E001::/64.
