Exam 400-007 topic 1 question 59 discussion

Unique local addresses (ULAs) are IPv6 addresses that are globally unique within a private network but are not globally routable on the internet. They are similar to private IPv4 addresses in IPv4 networks. ULAs provide a way to assign unique addresses within an organization's private network, ensuring confidentiality and avoiding conflicts with global routable IPv6 addresses. Link-local addresses (A) are used for communication between devices on the same link or subnet and are automatically generated by devices without the need for configuration. They are not suitable for addressing confidential subnets.
