CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 305

Joe, a technician, wants to configure a server's networking information so he will no longer need to maintain a list of names and IP addresses in a file on the server. Which of the following will work BEST to accomplish this task?

Answer options

• A. DHCP
• B. Hosts file
• C. DNS
• D. VLAN

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, DNS, as it provides a system for translating domain names to IP addresses, removing the need for a manual list. Option A, DHCP, automates IP address assignment but does not manage name resolution. Option B, Hosts file, requires manual updates and management, while option D, VLAN, relates to network segmentation, which does not address the problem at hand.
