CompTIA Security+ Question K-92

A system administrator attempts to ping a hostname and the response is 2001:4860:0:2001::68.
Which of the following replies has the administrator received?

A. The loopback address
B. The local MAC address
C. IPv4 address
D. IPv6 address

Answer: D

Explanation:
IPv6 addresses are 128-bits in length. An IPv6 address is represented as eight groups of four hexadecimal digits, each group representing 16 bits (two octets). The groups are separated by colons (:). The hexadecimal digits are case-insensitive, but IETF recommendations suggest the use of lower case letters. The full representation of eight 4-digit groups may be simplified by several techniques, eliminating parts of the representation.
