Description
1. All available IPv4 addresses were completely used and sold out several years ago. However, IPv4 addressing continues to still be used today because of something called Network Address Translation (NAT). This enables an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to issue an IPv4 address to a company or individual, and then within that company's network through NAT, the single address is shared so that all devices inside the network have their own unique addresses (which are not broadcast on the Internet), and share the external address given to the company by the ISP. IPv6 was created to provide a much larger range of addresses so that we would never (theoretically) run out of addresses again and so that each individual connected device would have its own unique address. While IPv6 addressing is in use, most systems are not set up to use it exclusively (or really at all). If most companies are still using IPv4, why is it important to understand IPv6? What is the current status of IPv6 deployment in your organization?
Please watch the video link below regarding IPv6 for more information to help with your discussion response.
2. Companies and devices today use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to automatically distribute IP addresses to connected devices. Some devices, like servers and printers, are typically configured using static (fixed) addresses. For this discussion, ask your network administrator at your company how they utilize DHCP and static routes. What did you find out? Did any of the answers surprise you? Do they use any static addresses for WiFi-connected devices? Please review the video link below from Professor Messer on DHCP for more information.

Question 1
An IPv6 consists of eight hexadecimal groups of four that, when broken down,
produce an IP address of 128 bits plus a considerable number of unique IP addresses to a tune
of more than 340 trillion (Ray, 2015).
IPv6 is made of the following three sections:
1. A routing or network prefix part which produces the first 48 bits automatically
without reconfiguring the network devices. With IPv6, administrators can easily set
new network prefixes when the existing ones expire what was almost impossible in
IPv4.
2. A subnet ID that contains the next 16 bits that act as distinguishing sets between the
host and network.
3. An interface or device identifier contains the last 64 bits that necessary for
