IPv6 host A is sending a neighbor solicitation message to IPv6 host B on the same Ethernet network. Which statement describes the destination MAC address host A uses to build the Ethernet frame of the neighbor solicitation message?

IPv6 host A is sending a neighbor solicitation message to IPv6 host B on the same Ethernet network. Which statement describes the destination MAC address host A uses to build the Ethernet frame of the neighbor solicitation message?

• It maps the special braodcast address reserved for neighbor discovery protocol.
• It maps the special solicited-node multicast address of the destination IPv6 address.
• It maps the special IPv6 unicast address reserved for neighbor discovery protocol.
• It maps the special address from the router advertisement message.

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.
