Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Platforms (DEVASC) — Question 540

In DNS, which record specifies an alias that refers to another name that ultimately resolves to an IP address?

Answer options

• A. CNAME
• B. NS
• C. AAA
• D. SOA

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is CNAME, which stands for Canonical Name and is used to create an alias for a domain name that points to another domain. The other options, such as NS (Name Server), AAA (Address), and SOA (Start of Authority), serve different functions in DNS and do not create aliases.
