In this episode you will learn:

- IPv6 addresses are 128 bits, written as eight, 16-bit hexadecimal groups.

- How to apply the two compression rules: omitting leading zeros and using the double colon (::) only once.

- To identify unicast address types by their prefixes: Global (2000::/3), Unique Local (FC00::/7), and Link-Local (FE80::/10).

- That IPv6 uses multicast (FF00::/8) and anycast, and has completely eliminated broadcast addresses.

- Common CCNA traps like invalid address compression or choosing the wrong address type for a given network scenario.
