What is an appropriate use for private IPv4 addressing?

Use D for this item. Private IPv4 addressing is appropriate for hosts that communicate only inside the organization. Those addresses are not routed globally and can be reused in separate private networks. In Cisco CCNA 200-301 v1.1, Network Fundamentals questions frequently test the practical boundary between similar features: what the feature does, where it is configured, and what problem it is meant to solve. Public-facing firewall interfaces and directly reachable Internet services require public addressing or NAT design. A clean way to validate the answer is to map the wording of the scenario to the actual device function. If the feature supplies addressing, forwarding, authentication, trunking, route selection, or controller communication, the answer must match that function exactly rather than a nearby protocol name.
