A network administrator at a large organization notices a rapid increase in the number of devices needing network access, pushing the network's capacity limits. Which solution best addresses this scenario to prevent running out of network addresses?
Implementing IPv6 addressing to expand the network address space
Using Network Address Translation
Applying more stringent subnetting strategies
Assigning only private address ranges within the network
Implementing IPv6 addressing offers a vast increase in the number of available network addresses compared to IPv4, thus providing a sustainable solution to the challenge of an ever-growing number of devices connecting to a network. \n\nWhy other answers are incorrect: \n- Using NAT (Network Address Translation) while useful for conserving address space by allowing multiple devices to share one public address, does not increase the total address pool, merely reducing the rate of address depletion. \n- Applying more stringent subnetting strategies can help manage the allocation of the current address space more efficiently, but it does not expand the number of available addresses. \n- Assigning only private address ranges primarily helps in conserving public addresses and is typically limited to local networks, leaving the underlying issue of limited overall address space unaddressed.
