Which of these statements is not true about IPV6 addresses?
|
|
They are 128 bits in length.
|
|
|
Subnet masks are no longer part of an IPV6 address.
|
|
|
It includes numbers and hexidecimal addresses.
|
|
|
Private and Public addresses are still part of IPV6.

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -IPv6 uses 128-bit (2128) addresses, allowing 3.4 x 1038 unique IP addresses. This is equal to 340 trillion trillion trillion IP addresses. IPv6 is written in hexadecimal notation, separated into 8 groups of 16 bits by the colons, thus (8 x 16 = 128) bits in total.
Detailed explanation-2: -IPv6 doesn’t have a subnet mask but instead calls it a Prefix Length, often shortened to “Prefix”. Prefix length and CIDR masking work similarly; The prefix length denotes how many bits of the address define the network in which it exists.
