Which of the following is NOT a private IPv4 address range as defined in RFC 1918?

Group of answer choices

172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255

192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255

10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255

169.254.0.0 - 169.254.255.255

The answer is 169.254.0.0 - 169.254.255.255. This range is reserved for link-local

addresses and is not part of the private IPv4 address ranges defined in RFC 1918.
The private IPv4 address ranges are:

10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
These address ranges are commonly used in private networks, such as those found in
homes, offices, and data centers, and are not routed on the public internet.

What is the primary characteristic of private IPv4 addresses?

Group of answer choices

They are unique and cannot be reused

They are globally routable.

They are used exclusively by ISPs.

They are common blocks of addresses for internal networks.

The primary characteristic of private IPv4 addresses is that they are common blocks
of addresses for internal networks. Private IPv4 addresses are not globally
routable and are meant to be used exclusively within private networks, such as
those found in homes, offices, and data centers. They are designed to be used by
multiple devices within a private network and are not unique or globally unique,
which means they can be reused in different private networks without causing
conflicts with other networks or the public internet. Private IPv4 addresses are
defined in RFC 1918 and include the following address ranges:

10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
Which type of addresses are globally routed between ISP routers?

Group of answer choices

Loopback addresses

Multicast addresses

Public IPv4 addresses

Private IPv4 addresses

Public IPv4 addresses are globally routed between ISP routers. Public IPv4
addresses are unique and globally routable, which means they can be used to
communicate across the public internet and are used to identify devices connected
to the internet. Public IPv4 addresses are assigned by regional internet registries
(RIRs) to internet service providers (ISPs), who then assign them to their
customers. They are not used exclusively by ISPs and can be used by any device that
needs to connect to the public internet. In contrast, private IPv4 addresses are
not globally routable and are used exclusively within private networks. Loopback
and multicast addresses are also not globally routable and have specific uses
within a network.

Which range of addresses is commonly used for testing if TCP/IP is operational on a

host?

Group of answer choices

169.254.0.0/16 (169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254)

192.168.0.0/16 (192.168.0.1 to 192.168.255.254

10.0.0.0/8 (10.0.0.1 to 10.255.255.254)

127.0.0.0/8 (127.0.0.1 to 127.255.255.254)

The range of addresses commonly used for testing if TCP/IP is operational on a host
is 127.0.0.0/8 (127.0.0.1 to 127.255.255.254). This range of addresses is reserved
for loopback or localhost addresses, which are used to establish a connection to
the same host on which the program is running. This means that any traffic sent to
an address in the loopback range will be routed back to the same host without being
sent over the network, making it useful for testing network connectivity and
applications that rely on network communication.

The address range 169.254.0.0/16 (169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254) is reserved for

link-local addresses, which are used for communication between devices on the same
network segment when no DHCP server is available to assign IP addresses.

The range 192.168.0.0/16 (192.168.0.1 to 192.168.255.254) and 10.0.0.0/8 (10.0.0.1

to 10.255.255.254) are both private IPv4 address ranges that are commonly used in
private networks and are not routable on the public internet.

hat are the commonly known names for the 169.254.0.0/16 range of addresses?

Group of answer choices

Legacy addresses

Classful addresses

APIPA addresses

Link-Local addresses

The commonly known names for the 169.254.0.0/16 range of addresses are Link-Local
addresses or Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) addresses. These addresses are
assigned to a network interface when no other IP address configuration is
available, such as when a DHCP server is not available or the configured DHCP
server is not reachable. Link-Local addresses are self-configured by the device and
are used for communication within the local network segment. They are not routable
on the public internet and are designed to be used temporarily until a more
permanent IP address configuration can be obtained. The use of Link-Local addresses
is defined in RFC 3927.

True or False: The range 127.0.0.0/8 is reserved for link-local addresses

False. The range 127.0.0.0/8 is not reserved for link-local addresses. It is

reserved for loopback addresses, which are used to establish a connection to the
same host on which the program is running. This range of addresses is used for
network testing and communication between processes on the same host and any
traffic sent to an address in the loopback range will be routed back to the same
host without being sent over the network. The loopback address range is defined in
RFC 3330.

What does DMZ stand for?

Group of answer choices

Distributed Monitoring Zone

Dynamic Managed Zone

Demilitarized Zone

Dedicated Media Zone

DMZ stands for Demilitarized Zone. In the context of computer networking, a DMZ is
a separate network zone that is typically located between the local network and the
internet. A DMZ is used to host servers or services that need to be accessible from
the internet, such as web servers, mail servers, and FTP servers. By placing these
servers in the DMZ, they are isolated from the local network, which provides an
additional layer of security to the local network. The DMZ is configured to allow
incoming traffic to the DMZ servers, but restricts outgoing traffic from the DMZ to
the local network, thus minimizing the risk of unauthorized access to the local
network.

What is the purpose of an intranet?

Group of answer choices

To provide internet access to external users

To host internet-facing servers

To facilitate communication within a company's internal network

To allocate public IP addresses to devices

The purpose of an intranet is to facilitate communication within a company's

internal network. An intranet is a private network that is accessible only to
authorized users within an organization. It is designed to provide a secure and
controlled environment for sharing information, resources, and applications within
the organization. An intranet typically includes a variety of services and
applications, such as email, file sharing, instant messaging, and collaboration
tools, that are used to improve communication and productivity within the
organization. In contrast to an extranet, which provides controlled access to
external users, an intranet is designed to be used exclusively by internal users
within the organization.
