CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 167

What are two benefits of private IPv4 IP addresses? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. They are routed the same as public IP addresses.
• B. They are less costly than public IP addresses.
• C. They can be assigned to devices without Internet connections.
• D. They eliminate the necessity for NAT policies.
• E. They eliminate duplicate IP conflicts.

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

The correct answers are B and C because private IPv4 addresses are indeed less expensive than public ones, and they can be assigned to devices that do not have an Internet connection. Options A, D, and E are incorrect; private IP addresses are not routed like public ones, they still require NAT policies for Internet access, and they do not inherently eliminate duplicate IP conflicts.
