CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 622

A company has a DNS record for the following address: products.companyXYZ.com. The company would like to add another record, sales.companyXYZ.com, which continually points to the same IP address as products.companyXYZ.com. Which of the following DNS record types would BEST accomplish this?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, CNAME, because it allows one domain name to point to another, effectively directing sales.companyXYZ.com to the same IP address as products.companyXYZ.com. The other options, such as MX and SRV, serve different purposes related to mail and service records, while A and AAAA records are used for direct IP address mappings.
