A network technician is documenting IPv6 deployment scopes and prefix classifications across an enterprise infrastructure. Match each IPv6 address type on the left to its correct prefix range and functional scope on the right.
- Global Unicast Address (GUA)Address space starting with 2000::/3 (such as 2001::/16) used for globally routable internet communications.
- Link-Local AddressMandatory interface address starting with fe80::/10 used strictly for communication within a single local network segment.
- Unique Local Address (ULA)Private address range starting with fc00::/7 used for internal organization routing and non-routable on the public internet.
- Multicast AddressOne-to-many destination address range starting with ff00::/8 used to deliver packets to all nodes subscribing to a specific group.
Answer
Global Unicast Address (GUA) pairs with the 2000::/3 globally routable internet block. Link-Local Address pairs with the fe80::/10 single local segment block. Unique Local Address (ULA) pairs with the fc00::/7 private internal routing block. Multicast Address pairs with the ff00::/8 one-to-many group delivery block.
Each IPv6 address type is defined by specific prefix allocations. Global Unicast Addresses use 2000::/3 for public internet traffic. Link-Local addresses use fe80::/10 for communications limited strictly to the local network segment. Unique Local Addresses use fc00::/7 for internal enterprise networks. Multicast addresses start with ff00::/8 to reach multiple subscribed devices across a network.
