CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 22

A technician wants to configure a SOHO network to use a specific public DNS server. Which of the following network components should the technician configure to point all clients on a network to a new DNS server?

Answer options

• A. Router
• B. Switch
• C. Load balancer
• D. Proxy server

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Router, because it is responsible for directing traffic between different networks and can be configured to set DNS settings for all connected clients. The other options, such as Switch, Load balancer, and Proxy server, do not manage DNS settings for client devices in the same way.
