Learning Objectives

In this lab, you'll practice converting IPv6 addresses between long form notation and short form notation using the shortcuts introduced in the Mike Meyers' CompTIA Network+ Guide to Managing and Trouble shooting Networks textbook. At the end of this lab you will be able to

Convert IPv6 addresses from long form notation to short form notation

Convert IPv6 addresses from short form notation to long form notation

Lab Materials and Setup

The materials you'll need for this lab are

The Mike Meyers' CompTIA Network+ Guide to Managing and Troubleshooting Network s textbook

Pencil and paper

Instructions

As you have learned, the IPv6 address is a 128-bit address displayed as eight groups of four hexadecimal numbers, such as 2001:047o:B8F9:0001:020C:29FF:FE53:45CA. You probably will not have to manually configure IPv6 addresses as you did IPv4 addresses, but it would be good to learn how to recognize these addresses in both their long and short forms.

One of the new clients ITCF has taken on is implementing IPv6 exclusively. CJ asks Maggie to explore the various IPv6 addresses and their notation. As usual, Maggie asks you if you would like to work with her to gain the experience. You heartily agree and quickly begin to tackle the problems together.

X Cross-Reference: Please use the shortcuts introduced in the "IPv6 Address Notation" section in Chapter 13 of the Mike Meyers' CompTIA Network+ Guide to Managing and Troubleshooting Networks textbook.

Task 1: Using the shortcuts, convert the following IPv6 addresses from their long form notation to their short form notation:

Long Form	Short Form
2001:0000:0000:3210:0800:200C:00CF:1234
FE80:0000:0000:0000:020C:000F:0000:FE53
FF02:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001
2001:0000:0000:0001:0200:000E:FFC8:0010
FE80:0000:0000:0000:205C:2194:3F57:FD11

Task 2: Now using the same shortcuts, convert the following IPv6 addresses from their short form notation to their long form notation:

Short From	Long Form
::1
FE80::A:0:53
FF02::2
2001::6:E00:9:FFC8:11
FE80::205C :2194:3F57:FD71
