It protects network from the password guessing attacks.
C.
It is used to connect private networks to the public Internet.
D.
It shares public Internet addresses with a large number of internal network clients.
Explanation:
The following statements are true about Network Address Translation (NAT):
It is used to connect private networks to the public InternetIt hides the internal IP addressing scheme.
It shares public Internet addresses with a large number of internal network clients.
Network address translation (NAT) is a technique that allows multiple computers to share one or
more IP addresses. NAT is configured at the
server between a private network and the Internet. It allows the computers in a private network to
share a global, ISP assigned address.
NAT modifies the headers of packets traversing the server. For packets outbound to the Internet, it
translates the source addresses from
private to public, whereas for packets inbound from the Internet, it translates the destination
addresses from public to private.
Answer option is incorrect. Network Address Translation (NAT) does not protect network from the
password guessing attacks.
