QuestionQ1168

IP Connectivity

What is one benefit of using private IPv4 addressing?

  • A Multiple companies can use the same addresses without conflicts.
  • B Direct connectivity is provided to internal hosts from outside an enterprise network.
  • C Communication to the internet is reachable without the use of NAT.
  • D All external hosts are provided with secure communication to the internet.
Explanation

Private IPv4 addresses are reserved for internal networks and are not routed on the public internet, so the same private address ranges can be reused by many different organizations without creating public addressing conflicts. Internet connectivity for those hosts typically requires translation such as NAT, and private addressing by itself does not provide external reachability or security.
