IPv6 Compression
There are 10 questions in this quiz and you need to get a 10/10 in order to pass. If you make a mistake please check if you are following the IPv6 rules and for syntax errors.IPv6 Compression Rules Overview:1.) Remove all the leading 0's in each segment for example: 02FD:0012:AB11:FD04 ---> 2FD:12:AB11:FD04
2.) Replace 0's segments with ":0:" for example: 12CB:0000:FD45:0000: ---> 12CB:0:FD45:0:
3.) Remove inline 0's (consecutive 0's segment) and replace with "::" for example: FD14:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:FF20:FD23 ---> FD14::FF20:FD23
4.) You can only remove consecutive 0's segments once per run, for example: FD14:0000:0000:AB12:0000:0000:FF20:FD23 ---> FD14::AB12:0:0:FF20:FD23
