3. Describe the initial steps involved in stateless IPv6 network configuration, starting with the link-local network. How does a host generate an address, and why is it unlikely to be duplicated on the network?
This network includes the address prefixed fe80::/64.
There are numerous addresses available on the link-local network, a host can generate an address that is unlikely to be duplicated anywhere on the network.
Stateless IPv6 network configuration begins with the link-local network, identified by addresses with the fe80::/64 prefix. In this network, a host autonomously generates an address from the abundance of available options, ensuring it is unlikely to be duplicated anywhere across the network.
