CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 339

A technician is trying to reach abc.intranet.com but is unable to do so by name. The technician is able to reach it by IP address, though. Which of the following is
MOST likely misconfigured?

Answer options

• A. The VLAN
• B. The DNS
• C. The subnet mask
• D. The default gateway

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as the inability to resolve a hostname to an IP address typically indicates a DNS misconfiguration. The other options, such as VLAN, subnet mask, and default gateway, would affect connectivity in a different manner, but would not specifically prevent hostname resolution.
