WatchGuard Network Security Essentials — Question 59

Match each type of NAT with the correct description:
Conserves IP addresses and hides the internal topology of your network. (Choose one)

Answer options

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

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Dynamic NAT is designed to conserve IP addresses by using a pool of public IPs for mapping to internal private addresses, thus hiding the internal network's structure. In contrast, 1-to1 NAT directly maps one private IP to one public IP, which does not conserve addresses as effectively. NAT Loopback allows internal devices to communicate with each other using the public IP address, but it does not serve the purpose of conserving IP addresses.
