CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 364

Which of the following record types would be used to define where SIP is found?

Answer options

• A. SRV
• B. CNAME
• C. A
• D. MX

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The SRV record is specifically designed to define the location of services like SIP by indicating the hostname and port number for the service. CNAME records are used for aliasing, A records map domain names to IP addresses, and MX records are for mail exchange, making them unsuitable for defining SIP locations.
