What hextet in ipv6 will tell you the subnet?
A
1
B
2
C
3
D
4
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Subnetting IPv6 The number of subnetting bits is the new prefix length minus the original prefix length. So there are 4 subnetting bits when a /48 is broken into /52s (52-48 = 4). The number of subnets possible with n subnetting bits is 2n. So if we have 4 subnetting bits, then we can create 24 = 16 new subnets.

Detailed explanation-2: -In computing, a hextet, or a chomp, is a sixteen-bit aggregation, or four nibbles. As a nibble typically is notated in hexadecimal format, a hextet consists of 4 hexadecimal digits. A hextet is the unofficial name for each of the 8 blocks in an IPv6 address.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
