Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

which of these represents the internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) loopback address?

A	127.0.0.1
B	FEC0:A8C0::AAO1
C	192.168.0.1
D	::1

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -In IPv6, the IPv6 address reserved for loopback use is 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001/128. This loopback address is so lengthy and can be further simplified as ::1/128.

Detailed explanation-2: -In IPv6, the loopback address is 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001/128.

Detailed explanation-3: -The loopback address in IPv4 is 127.0. 01. In IPv6, the loopback address is 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 or ::1.

Detailed explanation-4: -The IPv6 loopback address is 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1/128 or ::1/128. Similar to the IPv4 loopback address 127.0. 0.1, the IPv6 loopback address is used when a node needs to send IPv6 packets to itself. This IPv6 loopback address is usually used as the IP address of a virtual interface, such as a loopback interface.

Detailed explanation-5: -The loopback address may be used by a node to send an IPv6 packet to itself. It must not be assigned to a physical or virtual interface. In Release 7.3 and Release 8.0, the loopback address shown in the system Event logs is the special IPv4 loopback address (127.0. 0.1).
