A company is integrating a new environment with an existing one. Both use the same private range, which is causing route conflicts. Due to strict time constraints, addresses cannot be changed on either side. Which of the following approaches is the BEST way to ensure that traffic flows between the two environments?
Assign another portion of the same range to the environment's routers
Create separate virtual switching domains with trunking to isolate communications
Place each side on a separate VLAN and rely on static routing across subnets
Use a NAT solution to alter addresses when traffic passes between the two ranges
Using Network Address Translation (NAT) modifies source or destination addresses to avoid routing conflicts. This method is less disruptive than completely reassigning addresses, which can be labor-intensive and cause downtime. VLAN trunking and routing adjustments do not eliminate the duplicate range issue. Segmenting the network without translation does not fix the conflicting subsets of addresses.
