Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In an IPv6 network with a /48 prefix, the first 48 bits are allocated for the network, leaving 16 bits for creating subnets. Since the host ID is 64 bits, there are no additional bits available for subnetting beyond the 16 bits provided by the prefix. Therefore, the answer is B, 16.
