Huawei Certified Network Associate – Routing and Switching (HCNA-RS, legacy) — Question 6

A network requires a solution to allow 50 private IP addresses to be translated, however only a single public address is available for use.
Which translation method can be used to support this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Static NAT
• B. Dynamic NAT
• C. Easy-IP
• D. NAPT

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Easy-IP, as it allows multiple private IP addresses to be mapped to a single public IP address, effectively handling the translation for all 50 devices. Static NAT and Dynamic NAT do not support this kind of many-to-one translation, while NAPT is similar but typically refers to the process of translating multiple private IPs to a single public IP with port numbers, which is not mentioned here.
