Which address correctly represents a valid abbreviation for the 2bfc:0000:0000:0000:0217:0000:fe8c:5c85/128 IPv6 address?
Which address correctly represents a valid abbreviation for the 2bfc:0000:0000:0000:0217:0000:fe8c:5c85/128 IPv6 address?
In an IPv6 address, consecutive sections of zeroes can be abbreviated with a double colon (::), but this can only be used once in an address. After evaluating the given address, '2bfc:0000:0000:0000:0217:0000:fe8c:5c85/128' can be correctly abbreviated as '2bfc:0:217::fe8c:5c85/128' since it represents three consecutive sections of zeroes replaced by a double colon and two zeroes reduced to single zeroes.
D. 2bfc::217:0:fe8c:5c85/128 - This is the correct answer because the double colon (::) is used to represent multiple consecutive groups of zeroes, and there is only one double colon in this address. In this case, it replaces three groups of zeroes (0000:0000:0000), resulting in the original IPv6 address of 2bfc:0000:0000:0000:0217:0000:fe8c:5c85/128.
D. 2bfc::217:0:fe8c:5c85/128 - This is the correct answer because the double colon (::) is used to represent multiple consecutive groups of zeroes, and there is only one double colon in this address. In this case, it replaces three groups of zeroes (0000:0000:0000), resulting in the original IPv6 address of 2bfc:0000:0000:0000:0217:0000:fe8c:5c85/128.
D. 2bfc::217:0:fe8c:5c85/128 In IPv6 addresses, consecutive groups of zeros can be abbreviated with a double colon (::) to simplify the representation. The "::" represents one or more groups of consecutive zeros. In this case, the two groups of zeros after "2bfc" can be replaced with "::" to abbreviate the address.
