Question
What can be omitted in an abbreviated IPv6 address?
- Leading zeros
- Trailing zeros
- Consecutive sections consisting of zeros
- All of the above
Solution
In an abbreviated IPv6 address, the following can be omitted:
-
Leading zeros: Any leading zeros in each section of the address can be omitted. For example, the address "2001:0db8:0000:0000:0000:0000:1428:57ab" can be abbreviated as "2001:db8:0:0:0:0:1428:57ab".
-
Trailing zeros: Any trailing zeros in each section of the address can be omitted. For example, the address "2001:0db8:0001:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000" can be abbreviated as "2001:db8:1::".
-
Consecutive sections consisting of zeros: If consecutive sections of the address consist of zeros, they can be replaced with a double colon "::". However, this can only be done once in an address to avoid ambiguity. For example, the address "2001:0db8:0000:0000:0000:0000:1428:57ab" can be abbreviated as "2001:db8::1428:57ab".
Therefore, all of the above options can be omitted in an abbreviated IPv6 address.
