Understanding Cisco Cybersecurity Operations Fundamentals (CBROPS) — Question 77
While viewing packet capture data, an analyst sees that one IP is sending and receiving traffic for multiple devices by modifying the IP header.
Which technology makes this behavior possible?
Answer options
- A. encapsulation
- B. TOR
- C. tunneling
- D. NAT
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is NAT (Network Address Translation), which allows multiple devices on a local network to share a single public IP address by modifying the IP header. Encapsulation, TOR, and tunneling do not specifically facilitate the scenario of multiple devices using one IP for communication.
