QuestionQ18

Network Fundamentals

What are two reasons to deploy private addressing on a network?

Choose two
  • A to subnet addresses in an organized hierarchy
  • B to reduce network maintenance costs
  • C to segment local IP addresses from the global routing table
  • D to hide sensitive data from access users within an enterprise
  • E to route protected data securely via an Internet service provider
Explanation

Private addressing is intended for internal network use with addresses that are not advertised on the public Internet, which keeps local IP space out of the global routing table. It also lets an organization structure and subnet its internal address space in a logical hierarchy without requiring public address allocations for every internal segment. RFC 1918 defines private address space specifically for hosts that do not need external IP-layer connectivity and notes that such categories can use unambiguous private space instead of globally unique addresses.
