QuestionQ366

IP Connectivity

Under which circumstance would a network architect choose to implement a global unicast subnet rather than a unique local unicast subnet?

  • A when the subnet must be available only within an organization
  • B when the subnet does not need to be routable
  • C when the addresses on the subnet must be equivalent to private IPv4 addresses
  • D when the subnet must be routable over the internet
Explanation

A global unicast IPv6 subnet is used when hosts on that subnet must be reachable through public, Internet-routable addressing. Unique local unicast addresses are meant for internal use and are not routed on the public Internet, making them comparable to private internal addressing rather than public connectivity.
