Jack’s organization has a total of 156 computers. The organization has a registered class C address. Which of the following can let him assign individual IP addresses to every host on the network with plenty still available to allow for growth of the organization?

  1. NAT with a private address
  2. IPv4 addresses
  3. A default gateway
  4. DHCP
Explanation

Answer: A - NAT should be used, along with a private IP address on the internal network. Each host can then use its private IP address to communicate and map to the registered class C address pool when communicating across the Internet.

Key Takeaway: Network address translation (NAT) is the process of modifying network address information in datagram packet headers. This happens while the packets are in transit across a traffic routing device for the purpose of remapping a given address space into another. It obscures an internal network's structure and all traffic appears to have originated from the gateway machine.
