CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 307
A network administrator needs to efficiently deploy 200 systems using RFC1918 addresses. Which of the following networks should the administrator use?
Answer options
- A. 10.10.10.0/8
- B. 150.200.1.0/24
- C. 192.168.1.0/24
- D. 254.169.0.0/24
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is C, 192.168.1.0/24, as it is a private IP address space defined by RFC1918, suitable for local networks. Option A, while also a private address, provides a much larger address space than needed for 200 systems. Option B is a public IP address and not suitable for internal deployment, while Option D is an invalid private network address.
