A company is configuring a new internal office network that will not be directly accessible over the internet. What kind of network addressing should be implemented to suit the internal usage requirements?
Public addressing
Private addressing
Dynamic routing with OSPF
Automatic Private Internet Protocol Addressing (APIPA)
Private addressing is ideal for internal network configurations as these addresses are not routable on the internet. This conserves limited resources of accessible internet addresses while maintaining functional intra-network communications. APIPA addresses are a subset of private addresses automatically assigned when DHCP fails, thus not suitable for deliberate planning. Risking the use of public addresses and OSPF are irrelevant as they relate to internet routable scenarios and an internal routing protocol, respectively.
