300-410 Exam - Question 130


Which statement about IPv6 ND inspection is true?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

IPv6 Neighbor Discovery (ND) inspection primarily focuses on learning and securing bindings for stateless autoconfiguration addresses. These bindings are maintained in Layer 2 neighbor tables. This inspection process ensures that IPv6-to-MAC address mappings are verified, thus enhancing network security by preventing various types of attacks on the neighbor discovery mechanism, such as those targeting duplicate address detection, address resolution, and device discovery.

IPv6 ND inspection learns and secures bindings for stateless autoconfiguration addresses in Layer 2 neighbor tables. IPv6 ND inspection analyzes neighbor discovery messages in order to build a trusted binding table database, and IPv6 neighbor discovery messages that do not have valid bindings are dropped. A neighbor discovery message is considered trustworthy if its IPv6-to-MAC mapping is verifiable. This feature mitigates some of the inherent vulnerabilities for the neighbor discovery mechanism, such as attacks on duplicate address detection (DAD), address resolution, device discovery, and the neighbor cache.
