CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 232

A company implements a video streaming solution that will play on all computers that have joined a particular group, but router ACLs are blocking the traffic. Which of the following is the most appropriate IP address that will be allowed in the ACL?

Answer options

• A. 127.0.0.1
• B. 172.17.1.1
• C. 224.0.0.1
• D. 240.0.0.1

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, 224.0.0.1, as it is a multicast address used for streaming to multiple hosts. A, 127.0.0.1, is the loopback address and only routes traffic to the local machine. B, 172.17.1.1, is a private address that may not be relevant to the streaming group. D, 240.0.0.1, is reserved for future use and is not a valid multicast address.
