Exam N10-008 topic 1 question 713 discussion

C. Assign a new IP address range to the local company. Given that both companies are currently using overlapping IP address ranges, the most straightforward and effective solution to quickly connect the two companies without causing IP address conflicts would be to reassign a new, non-overlapping IP address range to the local company. This change would ensure that both companies can communicate without any IP address conflicts or the need for complex routing rules to manage the overlap.

The correct answer is D. Assign a NAT range to the local company. Network Address Translation (NAT) can be used to map the local company's IP address range to a different range, allowing the two companies to communicate without overlapping IP addresses. This is a quick and effective solution to connect the two companies without needing to reassign IP addresses immediately.

Since the two companies are using overlapping IP address ranges, Network Address Translation (NAT) can be used to quickly resolve the conflict by assigning a unique NAT range to the local company. This allows both networks to communicate without requiring an immediate IP address reconfiguration for the local company. NAT translates the local company’s IP addresses to a unique range that the global company’s network can recognize, enabling connectivity despite the overlapping address space.

A global company has acquired a local company. The companies are geographically separate. The IP address ranges for the two companies are as follows: • Global company: 10.0.0.0/16 • Local company: 10.0.0.0/24 Which of the following can the network engineer do to quickly connect the two companies? A. Assign static routing to advertise the local company's network B. Assign an overlapping IP address range to both companies. C. Assign a new IP address range to the local company. D. Assign a NAT range to the local company.
