CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 172

A network technician needs to determine the IPv6 address of a malicious website. Which of the following record types would provide this information?

Answer options

• A. A
• B. AAAA
• C. CNAME
• D. PTR

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, AAAA, as this record type specifically maps a hostname to its corresponding IPv6 address. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because A records are for IPv4 addresses, CNAME records are for aliases, and PTR records are used for reverse DNS lookups.
