Understanding Cisco Cybersecurity Fundamentals (SECFND, legacy) — Question 12

While viewing packet capture data, you notice that one IP is sending and receiving traffic for multiple devices by modifying the IP header. Which option is making this behavior possible?

Answer options

• A. TOR
• B. NAT
• C. encapsulation
• D. tunneling

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, encapsulation, as it allows for the modification of the IP header to facilitate communication between multiple devices. Options A (TOR) and B (NAT) relate to privacy and address translation, respectively, but do not specifically address the header modification in this context. Option D (tunneling) involves encapsulating packets but does not inherently involve changing headers for multiple devices.
