Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Platforms (DEVASC) — Question 479

Which technology is responsible for resolving a host name to an IP address?

Answer options

• A. DNS
• B. SNMP
• C. DHCP
• D. NTP

Correct answer: A

Explanation

DNS is the correct answer because it is designed specifically to resolve host names into IP addresses. SNMP is used for network management, DHCP is responsible for assigning IP addresses to devices on a network, and NTP is used for synchronizing clocks across devices, none of which resolve host names.
