A network administrator is setting up a new IPv6 network using the 64-bit address 2001:0EB8:00C1:2200:0001:0000:0000:0331/64. To simplify the configuration, the administrator has decided to compress the address. Which IP address must the administrator configure?

A. B. C. D.A
The original IPv6 address is 2001:0EB8:00C1:2200:0001:0000:0000:0331/64. In IPv6, leading zeros can be omitted, so the address can be simplified as follows:
2001:EB8:C1:2200:1:0:0:331/64
Next, any consecutive blocks of zeros can be replaced with a double colon (::), but this can only be done once in an address. In this case, there are two blocks of zeros, so we can replace one of them with ::. The result is:
2001:EB8:C1:2200:1::331/64
Therefore, the correct answer is D. ipv6 address 2001:EB8:C1:2200:1::331/64.
