You must install 125 computers for a new business that wants to run TCP/IP and have access to the Internet.

Gunnar Reid · Answer 1

Configure a NAT

Explanation:

NAT stands for network address translation. It is a process of converting or translating a local or private address to a public routable address. private ip version 4 addresses are not routable on the internet. The ranges of private addresses are;

10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255

172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255

192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255

The exhaustion of the ipv4 address due to its limited addresses, brought about the use of NAT to maximize the available private and public addresses. With NAT, a network of over 125 computers can access the internet using few public address translation.
