Exam N10-008 topic 1 question 564 discussion

Cname should be the answer

A. A is the answer

Definitely A CNAME are aliases, which means you can use a different hostname to resolve something. In the question here, they're trying to reach a LOCAL server from a CLOUD DNS, so even if you did put a CNAME, you still wouldn't be able to reach the local server, since you have no A record to tell the DNS where to go to, which is why CNAME is an idiotic answer. Example: mylocalserver A myIP locserv CNAME mylocalserver If you have no A record, you'll never be able to resolve the actual local server.

the answer is A. Cname is mapping a hostname to a hostname

Pretty sure this is A.

The answer is A. An A record maps a IPv4 to a hostname whereas a CNAME maps a hostname to another hostname (alias).

Should be A

a CNAME record is used instead of a DNS A record, as it can only point to a domain name. In the case of an A record, its purpose is to associate a domain or URL with its corresponding IP address. For example, to load mywebsite.com, you need to point to its IP address like 192.168. 10.1.

"An A Record maps a hostname to one or more IP addresses, while the CNAME record maps a hostname to another hostname." Truth be told I still don't know the answer

Valid responses, but I would go with c.

Sorry, forgot to vote* The technician needs to enable access by hostname. This can be accomplished by mapping the hostname to an ip address by using an A record. CNAME maps a hostname to an alias, which the technician has not been requested to do.

The A record (Option A) and the CNAME record (Option C) are typically used to enable access by hostname12. The A record, also known as the host address, points to an IP address1. For example, if your web server has the IP address 123.12.34.255, you would create an A record with that as the value to point your DNS to your web server1. The CNAME record, on the other hand, is used to point a domain or subdomain to another domain name2. It’s often used to ensure that multiple services, like www and mail, can be accessed from the same domain2. Please note that while other records like MX (Mail Exchange) and NS (Name Server) also play important roles in DNS, they are not typically used to enable access by hostname

A. The technician needs to enable access by hostname. Not map a hostname to another hostname.

An “A” record, or Address record, is used to map a hostname to an IP address. CNAME is for canonical name records (useful for aliasing), not accessing a server via the hostname.

Cname is an alias hostname for the same IP.

CNAME is used

This is definitely A. The question is asking to connect to a server via the host name, instead of the IP address. So you would need to update the A record with the IP address mapping to the host name to allow users to connect via the host name. There's no way it's CNAME. This is used to map subdomains like mail.google.com to google.com which is not what the user is trying to do in this scenario.
