A company is expanding from one office to three offices in the same city. Each office has 50 devices. The network team needs to assign private IPv4 addresses to all devices and allow inter-office communication. Which approach is most efficient and scalable?

Use public IPv4 addresses for each device to avoid NAT

Use IPv6 exclusively and disable IPv4

Use a single /24 subnet for all offices and rely on switches to connect them

Use a /16 subnet and assign each office a /24 subnet, with routers connecting the offices

What is the purpose of subnetting in IPv4?

To increase the number of available public IP addresses

To divide a network into smaller, manageable segments

To replace the need for routers

To encrypt data transmitted over the network
