ifconfig -- nat eth0 -s 172.17.0.0/16 -j DIRECT
Answers
D.
ifconfig -- nat eth0 -s 172.17.0.0/16 -j DIRECT
Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

This command will use the iptables tool to append a rule to the POSTROUTING chain of the nat table, which will match any packet with a source address of 172.17.0.0/16 and an output interface of eth0, and apply the MASQUERADE target to it.This means that the packet will have its source address changed to the address of the eth0 interface, effectively hiding the internal network behind a NAT12.
