Define public address and private address?
A public address is one that is seen on the Internet and can be routed. A private IP address is only visible within its organization network and any packets containing a destination address using a private address will not be routed outside the organization.
Can private IP address be routed?
No - a private address can be used many times so it can't be seen outside of the LAN with that address. It has to be translated into a public address to be routable.
What are the main differences between the public and private network settings?
Public network is where the networked computers are not all trusted. Private network is where all computers are trusted. EG. Public network: cyber cafe. EG Private network: Your work or home network.
Which IP address processes enables workstations to use private IP addresses to access the Internet?
NAT (Network Address Translation) A service that translates a private IP address to a public IP address in packets destined for the internet, then translates the public IP address in the reply to the private address.
What translates a private IP address to a public one?
Usually a gateway or proxy is responsible for hiding internal networks.
What is Nat server?
NAT: Network Address Translation Nat is used to deal with public and private address. most of addresses that we have is private and you must use public address in the internet , so NAT server do this job and make address conversion
Which of the following statements regarding Network Address Translation NAT are true?
Destination NAT forwards requests for network resources using a public IP address to a private IP Address Dynamic NAT can dynamically assign public ip addresses to internal hosts making requests from resources outside the private network Source NAT implementations change the source address on outgoing connections from a private IP address to a public address.
Describe the difference between public and private IPv4 addresses. If a network is using private IP addresses how can the computers on that network access the Internet?
If a network is using a public IP address, anyone can use it to log on to the network. A private IP address requires a specific password. Only users who have the password can use that connection.
Is the IP address of your computer is address of a private network?
192.168.anything.anything, 10.anything, and 172.0-172.16.anything are usually private. If it does not begin with 192, 172, or 10, it is definitely public.
Which of the folllowing uses a single public IP address to access the Internet on behalf of all of the hosts on the network that may be using other IP addresses or private IP addresses?
•If the hosts on a network using private IP addresses need to access the Internet, a problem arises because the private IP addresses are not allowed on the Internet. •The solution is to use NAT (Network Address Translation), which uses a single public IP address to access the Internet on behalf of all hosts on the network using other IP addresses.
What uses a single public IP address to access the Internet on behalf of all of the hosts on the network that may be using other IP addresses or private IP?
NAT - Network Address Translation.
Under what circumstance would it be appropriate to use private IP address?
The usual reason to use private IP addresses is when you have to share a single public IP address (or a few public IP addresses) among a larger number of computers. Nowadays, this situation is quite common - it is no longer possible to assign a public IP (version 4) address to each and every computer; IP addresses are starting to get scarce. In the scenario mentioned above, private IP addresses according to RFC 1918 are used in combination with NAT (network address translation).
