A technician is setting up a new workstation at a customer's office. The office network has one public IP address and utilizes NAT for the internal network. In addition, DHCP is not used, so all IP addresses are manually provisioned. Which of the following IP addresses should the technician assign to the workstation?
Given the scenario, the technician should assign a private IP address to the workstation, as the office network uses NAT for internal address translation and only one public IP address. The IP address 192.168.1.56 falls within the private IP range specified by the RFC 1918 standard, which is appropriate for internal networking. The other options listed do not belong to any of the designated private IP ranges (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16). Therefore, 192.168.1.56 is the correct choice for the workstation's IP address.
I don't know why the answer is private IP when the questions asks for public.
