How can an IPv6 interface ID be assigned to a host?

What will be an ideal response?


An IPv6 interface ID can be assigned to a host in these ways:
Using the 48-bit MAC address-Because a MAC address is only 48 bits, the other 16 bits come from the value fffe inserted after the first 24 bits of the MAC address. In addition, the first two 0s that compose most MAC addresses are replaced with 02.
A randomly generated permanent interface identifier-The interface ID is generated randomly but is a permanent assignment maintained through system restarts.
