WatchGuard Network Security Essentials — Question 48

Match each type of NAT with the correct description:
Changes and routes all incoming and outgoing packets sent from one range of addresses to a different range of addresses. (Choose one)

Answer options

• A. 1-to1 NAT
• B. Dynamic NAT
• C. NAT Loopback

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, 1-to1 NAT, which specifically translates one IP address to another, effectively routing all traffic between two distinct ranges. Dynamic NAT, on the other hand, typically maps a range of private IP addresses to a pool of public IP addresses, while NAT Loopback is used for allowing access to a public IP from within the same network, making them unsuitable for this description.
