CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 232

A network technician is troubleshooting a new web server connectivity issue. The network technician discovers the following on the support ticket:

• The server’s IP address can be pinged from the client PCs.
• Access to the web resource works correctly when on the server's console.
• No clients can access the server’s data via URL.
• The server does not have a firewall configured.
• No ACLs are preventing connectivity from the client's network.
• All services on the server are operating normally, which was confirmed by the server team.

Which of the following actions will resolve the issue?

Answer options

• A. Reset port security on the switchport connecting the server.
• B. Adjust the web server's NTP setting to match the client settings.
• C. Configure A records for the web server.
• D. Install the correct MIB on the web server.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because configuring A records ensures that the domain name resolves to the web server's IP address, allowing clients to access it via URL. The other options do not directly address the issue of URL accessibility; resetting port security (A) and adjusting NTP settings (B) do not affect web traffic, while installing MIB (D) is unrelated to web server connectivity.
