What are two benefits of private IPv4 IP addresses? (Choose two) (CCNA 200-301)

Correct answer: B) They are less costly than public IP addresses and C) They can be assigned to devices without Internet connections.
B - True. Private IP addresses are free to use within an organization's internal network, whereas public IP addresses must be obtained from an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or a regional Internet registry and may involve costs.
C - True. Private IP addresses can be used for devices that do not require direct access to the Internet, such as printers, internal servers, and other local devices. This allows for efficient IP address management within a private network.

Analysis of the Other Statements:
A - False. Private IP addresses are not routable on the public Internet. They are intended for use within private networks and require Network Address Translation (NAT) to communicate with the public Internet.
D - False. In fact, the use of private IP addresses necessitates NAT policies for devices within a private network to access the public Internet. NAT translates private IP addresses to a public IP address.
E - False. Private IP addresses do not inherently eliminate duplicate IP conflicts. Proper network management is required to ensure that IP addresses within a private network are unique.
