014.01.50.3. Can you explain the significance of RFC 1918 and 6761 in the context of selecting IP subnets for a private network? How might these standards influence your choice of a private subnet?
The RGC 1918/6761 addresses are a conventional, inexpensive alternative to picking a private subnet. These standards influence our choice in such a way that if we want to have more than 254 hosts on a single network, then we need to pick a larger category of subnet otherwise, a small subnet such as 10.23.2.0/24 is helpful.
RFC 1918 and 6761 define conventional, cost-effective alternatives for selecting private subnets. These standards influence our choice by offering a range of private addresses suitable for internal networks. For larger networks with more than 254 hosts, opting for a larger category of subnet is necessary. Conversely, for smaller networks, a more compact subnet like 10.23.2.0/24 is appropriate.
