What is the interface ID of the IPv6 address 2001:DB8::1000:A9CD:47FF:FE57:FE94/64?
A
2001:DB8::1000:A9CD
B
FE94

A9CD:47FF:FE57:FE94
D
1000:A9CD:47FF:FE57:FE94
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -What is the interface ID of the IPv6 address 2001:DB8::1000:A9CD:47FF:FE57:FE94/64? Explanation: The interface ID of an IPv6 address is the rightmost 64 bits, or last four hextets, of the address if no interface ID bits have been used for subnets.

Detailed explanation-2: -0-The IPv6 address 2001:0db8:0000:abcd:0000:0000:0000:0001 in its most compressed format would be 2001:db8:0:abcd::1. The one leading zero in the second hextet can be removed. The first hextet of zeros would be compressed to a single zero.

Detailed explanation-3: -The second part of an IPv6 unicast or anycast address is typically a 64-bit interface identifier used to identify a host’s network interface. A 64-bit interface ID is created by inserting the hex value of FFFE in the middle of the MAC address of the network card.

Detailed explanation-4: -The network address is 2001:db8:abcd, and the subnet address is 12 (using the short form notation and eliminating the leading zeroes). Together, these two groupings are the IPv6 prefix .
