Network Fundamentals

What are two advantages of using private IPv4 addressing?

Choose two
  • A propagates routing information to WAN links
  • B provides unlimited address ranges
  • C reuses addresses at multiple sites
  • D conserves globally unique address space
  • E provides external internet network connectivity
Explanation

Private IPv4 addressing allows the same internal address ranges to be used repeatedly in different organizations or sites because those addresses are not globally unique on the public Internet. It also preserves scarce public IPv4 space by letting internal devices use non-public addresses instead of consuming globally unique ones. RFC 1918 defines these private address blocks and explains that they are intended for hosts that do not require globally unique IP connectivity.
