CISSP study material · question 33 of 500

A network architect is numbering an isolated test range that must stay unroutable on the public internet, and wants only address space set aside for private internets. Four candidate blocks appear in the addressing plan. Which blocks are reserved for private internets? Choose three.

  1. 172.16.0.0/12, sixteen contiguous class B blocks
  2. 169.254.0.0/16, a single class B block
  3. 192.168.0.0/16, 256 contiguous class C blocks
  4. 10.0.0.0/8, a single class A block
Show the answer

Answer: D. 10.0.0.0/8, a single class A block
A. 172.16.0.0/12, sixteen contiguous class B blocks
C. 192.168.0.0/16, 256 contiguous class C blocks

The three reserved private blocks are 10/8, 172.16/12 and 192.168/16; 169.254.0.0/16 is link-local autoconfiguration space, not reserved for private internets.
