What else is required when configuring an IPv6 static route using a next-hop link-local address? **
- network number and subnet mask on the interface of the neighbor router
- ip address of the neighbor router
- interface number and type
- administrative distance
| Explanation & Hint:
When configuring an IPv6 static route using a next-hop link-local address, it is required to specify the interface number and type through which the next-hop device is reachable. This is because link-local addresses are only valid on a specific link (local network segment) and do not provide information about how to exit the local network. By specifying the interface, you provide the necessary information on where the packets should be sent. The administrative distance is optional and is used only if you need to set a preference over multiple routes to the same destination. You do not need to specify the network number and subnet mask on the interface of the neighbor router, nor the global IP address of the neighbor router, when using a link-local address for the next hop. Link-local addresses are sufficient for routing IPv6 traffic on the local link. |
