A technician is configuring a new Cisco 2960 switch. What is the effect of issuing the BranchSw(config-if)# ipv6 address 2001:db8:a2b4:88::1/64 command?
- It applies an IPv6 address to the virtual interface.
- It activates a virtual or physical switch interface.
- It applies an IPv4 address to the virtual interface.
- It permits an IPv6 address to be configured on a switch physical interface.
- It updates the MAC address table for the associated port.

Answers Explanation & Hints: The “ipv6 address” command is used to assign an IPv6 address to a switch interface. In this case, the command “BranchSw(config-if)# ipv6 address 2001:db8:a2b4:88::1/64” assigns the IPv6 address 2001:db8:a2b4:88::1 with a prefix length of 64 to the switch interface configured in interface configuration mode (config-if).
Therefore, the correct answer is: “It applies an IPv6 address to the virtual interface.”
The “ipv6 address” command does not apply an IPv4 address to the virtual interface, activate a virtual or physical switch interface, permit an IPv6 address to be configured on a switch physical interface, or update the MAC address table for the associated port.
