CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 410

A network technician is implementing a solution on the network to hide the workstation internal IP addresses across a WAN. Which of the following is the technician configuring?

Answer options

• A. QoS
• B. DMZ
• C. RIP
• D. NAT

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is NAT (Network Address Translation), which is designed to hide internal IP addresses by translating them into a public IP for outgoing traffic. QoS (Quality of Service) manages network traffic priority, DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) is a security buffer, and RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is a routing protocol, none of which provide the IP address hiding functionality that NAT does.
