IPv6 host A is sending a neighbor solicitation message to IPv6 host B on the same Ethernet network. What type of address is used in the Destination MAC field of the Ethernet frame header?
- a multicast MAC address associated with the destination IPv6 address information
- a multicast MAC address associated with the sending host IPv6 address information
- the special MAC broadcast address reserved for neighbor discover protocol
- an anycast MAC address reserved for neighbor discover protocol
Explanation: When an IPv6 host sends a neighbor solicitation message to another IPv6 host on the same Ethernet network, the sending host creates an Ethernet frame and add a multicast MAC address in the Destination MAC address field. This multicast MAC address maps the special solicited-node multicast address derived from the destination IPv6 address.
