CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 393

A network administrator is hosting a local application on a Type 2 hypervisor, but the application only has accessibility to the host machine. Which of the following address types would the administrator most likely visit to access the application?

Answer options

• A. Public
• B. Loopback
• C. Private
• D. APIPA

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Loopback, as it refers to the IP address that allows a device to communicate with itself. The other options are incorrect because a Public address is used for external access, a Private address is used for internal networks, and APIPA is used for self-assigned IP addresses when DHCP is not available.
