Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Platforms (DEVASC) — Question 362

Which technology is responsible for matching a name to an IP address of an application running on a host?

Answer options

• A. firewall
• B. proxy
• C. load balancer
• D. DNS

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is DNS, as it translates domain names into IP addresses, allowing applications to be accessed via user-friendly names. The other options like firewall, proxy, and load balancer serve different functions such as security, traffic management, and distributing requests, but they do not perform name resolution.
