Network implementations

What this topic is really about
An Extended Service Set (multiple APs sharing one SSID) lets clients roam between APs without reconnecting. Ad hoc is a peer-to-peer wireless mode with no AP, bridging connects two network segments, and port aggregation bonds wired links.
MPLS attaches labels to packets and forwards based on those labels, enabling traffic engineering and QoS without per-hop IP lookups. Frame Relay and ISDN are legacy WAN technologies, and PPP is a point-to-point link-layer protocol.
See the mechanism
SLAAC lets an IPv6 host generate its own global address using the router-advertised prefix plus an interface identifier. A diagram for this topic isn't available yet — the worked example below walks the same reasoning step by step.
An exam-style question, fully explained
Which IPv6 mechanism lets a host configure a global address WITHOUT a DHCP server?
- Identify what the question tests: Which IPv6 mechanism lets a host configure a global address WITHOUT a DHCP server.
- SLAAC lets an IPv6 host generate its own global address using the router-advertised prefix plus an interface identifier.
- ARP is IPv4 only — IPv6 uses NDP.
- RIPng and OSPFv3 are routing protocols.
Traps the examiner sets
- Read each option carefully — distractors on Network implementations are designed to look plausible.
- Re-check the exact wording of the question stem before committing to an answer.
- Watch the qualifiers ("always", "only", "except") that flip a correct-looking option.
