What type of IPv6 address is required as a minimum on IPv6 enabled interfaces?
A
static
B
global unicast
C
link-local
D
loopback
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -At a minimum, which address is required on IPv6-enabled interfaces? All IPv6 enabled interfaces must at minimum have a link-local address. Other IPv6 addresses can be assigned to the interface as required.

Detailed explanation-2: -IPv6 unicast address assignment consists of the following forms: Aggregate global unicast address. Neutral-interconnect unicast address. NSAP address.

Detailed explanation-3: -All interfaces on IPv6 nodes must have a link-local address, which is automatically configured from the identifier for an interface and the link-local prefix FE80::/10. A link-local address enables a node to communicate with other nodes on the link and can be used to further configure the node.

Detailed explanation-4: -A unicast address uniquely identifies an interface on an IPv6 device. A packet sent to a unicast address is received by the interface that is assigned to that address. Similar to IPv4, a source IPv6 addresses must be a unicast address.
