A network administrator is deploying IPv6 using Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC) on an enterprise network segment. A host interface on the segment has the MAC address `00:50:56:A1:B2:C3` and receives a Router Advertisement containing the prefix `2001:db8:cafe:10::/64`. Based on the Modified EUI-64 specification and RFC 5952 address compression rules, which of the following is the correct 128-bit IPv6 address configured by the host?
- 2001:db8:cafe:10:250:56ff:fea1:b2c3Cevap
- B2001:db8:cafe:10:50:56ff:fea1:b2c3
- C2001:db8:cafe:10::250:56ff:fea1:b2c3
- D2001:db8:cafe:10:250:56fe:ffa1:b2c3
Cevap
The correct IPv6 address is 2001:db8:cafe:10:250:56ff:fea1:b2c3.
The correct IPv6 address is constructed by splitting the 48-bit MAC address (00:50:56 and A1:B2:C3), inserting FFFE in between to form 0050:56FF:FEA1:B2C3, and inverting the 7th bit of the first byte (changing 00 to 02 to get 0250:56ff:fea1:b2c3). Applying RFC 5952 rules suppresses the leading zero in 0250 to 250. Concatenating the /64 prefix (2001:db8:cafe:10) with the interface ID yields 2001:db8:cafe:10:250:56ff:fea1:b2c3.
