Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Platforms (DEVASC) — Question 504

Which unique identifier allows network traffic to be routed to a host?

Answer options

• A. hostname
• B. network prefix
• C. IP address
• D. subnet mask

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as an IP address uniquely identifies a device on a network, allowing traffic to be directed to it. The hostname is a human-readable label, the network prefix defines a range of IP addresses, and the subnet mask is used for segmenting networks but does not uniquely identify a host.
