Which two methods are primarily used to dynamically learn an IPv6 address?

  1. Static IP and EUI-64

  2. IPv6 Stateless Address Auto Configuration and EUI-64

  3. IPv6 DHCP and Manual Configuration

  4. IPv6DHCP and Stateless Address Auto Configuration

The correct answer is: IPv6DHCP and Stateless Address Auto Configuration

The two primary methods for dynamically learning an IPv6 address are IPv6 DHCP and Stateless Address Auto Configuration. IPv6 DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6) allows devices to obtain an IPv6 address and other configuration details from a DHCP server. It is similar to the classic DHCP used in IPv4 networks and is useful in networks where more control and configuration parameters are needed, including the assignment of addresses and other network settings. Stateless Address Auto Configuration (SLAAC) allows devices to configure themselves automatically using the information provided by routers through Router Advertisement messages. This method enables devices to generate their own IPv6 addresses using a combination of the network prefix received and the Extended Unique Identifier (EUI-64) format based on their MAC address. Together, these methods provide flexibility for network administrators to manage IPv6 addressing efficiently.
