Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
VLAN Subinterface Tag
Why it's wrong here
VLAN tags are Layer 2 encapsulation attributes, not NAT translation address types.
- ✗
Port Forwarding Pool
Why it's wrong here
Port forwarding is a Destination NAT function, not a Source NAT translation type.
- ✓
Static IP
Why this is correct
Static IP translation provides a permanent 1:1 mapping between an internal IP and a translated IP.
- ✓
Dynamic IP and Port (DIPP)
Why this is correct
DIPP translates multiple private IPs to a smaller pool of public IPs using unique source ports.
- ✓
Dynamic IP
Why this is correct
Dynamic IP translation maps internal IPs to a pool of public IPs on a 1:1 basis without port translation.
