Sam,

Thanks for getting back to me. I appreciate it.

I think your answer is correct but the issue I still have is this:

Why did you decide to use

FEC0::D:B:0:0:2/125 on R2 and FEC0::D:B:0:0:1/125 on R1

instead of, for example,

FEC0::B:D:0:0:2/125 on R2 and FEC0::B:D:0:0:1/125 on R1

or this:

FEC0::D:0:0:B:2/125 on R2 and FEC0::D:0:0:B:1/125 on R1

In this task is there one and ONLY one correct answer or many possible
correct answers?

The trouble I'm having with this problem is that in the Cisco doc's they
show examples of ipv6 addresses using a SLA and a subnet ID but never both
of these fields in the same type of address. And, in the examples, both the
SLA and subnet ID occupy the same position - bits 49 to 64 from the left -
in the address.

Clearly, its not possible for both the subnet id and the SLA to occupy the
same bits at the same time in the same type of address. So, why is it you
choose to make the subnet, B, part of the interface id and place it where
you did?

Thanks, Tim

Hi Tim,

How about the following Address:

FEC0::D:B:0:0:2/125 on R2 and FEC0::D:B:0:0:1/125 on R1

My Explanation:

First 48 bits are FEC0:0:0 ( 3hex)
Subnet ID is 000D (1 hex)
Interface ID is B:0:0:1 (SLA in this case since this is specific to site or
local to the organization)

If any better thoughts, please come forward.

Thx,

Sam
