Complete the Tables and Lists from Memory
Print a copy of DVD Appendix M, “Memory Tables,” or at least the section for this chapter, and complete the tables and lists from memory. DVD Appendix N, “Memory Tables Answer Key,” includes completed tables and lists for you to check your work.
Definitions of Key Terms
After your first reading of the chapter, try to define these key terms, but do not be concerned about getting them all correct at that time. Chapter 30 directs you in how to use these terms for late-stage preparation for the exam.

Additional Practice with IPv6 Address Abbreviations
For additional practice abbreviating IPv6 addresses:
- DVD Appendix K, “Practice for Chapter 25: Fundamentals of IP Version 6,” has some additional practice problems listed.
- Create your own problems using any real router or simulator. Get into the router CLI, into configuration mode, and configure a 32-digit unabbreviated IPv6 address. Then predict the shortest abbreviation. Finally, use the show ipv6 interface command to see if the router used the same abbreviation you used.
