A network administrator is configuring the IP addresses for a new set of internal servers in a company's private network. Which of the following IP address ranges should the administrator use to ensure the addresses comply with RFC 1918 specifications?
The correct answer is '192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255' because RFC 1918 specifies this range, along with two others, for private IPv4 addressing. These ranges are set aside specifically for private use to avoid IP address conflicts with publicly routable addresses on the Internet. The other options listed are either public IP ranges or incorrect according to RFC 1918 guidelines, making them unsuitable for use in a private network setting.
