Hi

Would fec0:0:0:ac::4/64 be the same as fec0::ac:4/64 ?

Looks like it'll work to me. Just like all addresses, you can specify
either the EUI-64 "magical" addressing or specify your own host ID in
there
manually.

The site local format doesn't function any differently, just gives you
some
rules to go by. I didn't think the RFC to deprecate that had been
standardized yet, but IOS still supports it anyway, so my guess is that
it
would be fair game on the lab. *shrug*

But again, the concept of addressing will be the same whether it's the
site-local or any given/derived address range.

Hi everyone!

Couple of questions on this topic. . .

First  please  if you would  do not bother to point out that this
feature
is deprecated  I am completely aware of that. . .

1) In all of the documentation I have found  I always encounter
this
statement "A site local unicast address is an IPv6 unicast address that
uses
the prefix range FEC0::/10 and concatenates the subnet identifier with
the
interface ID in the EUI-64 format." I find myself a bit
troubled/confused by
this statement. I assume that I should not read too much into the word
concatenates here. It would seem from the diagram that they just mean
that
the Subnet ID is next to the interface ID.

2) Is this example correct, therefore? I want to create a
Site-Local
address with the Subnet ID of AC. Correct command is: ipv6 address
FEC0:0:0:AC::/64 eui-64 Is it that simple?

3) How about this one? Create a site-local address and use a Subnet
ID
of AC and an interface ID of 4. I guess the correct thing to do is keep
your
Interface ID at 64 bits.so we do this: ipv6 address fec0:0:0:ac::4/64
Everyone like?
