Dell EMC Associate – PowerEdge Server Specialist — Question 54

What is the purpose of the DNS role?

Answer options

• A. Send out emails from a server to a client
• B. Translate domain names into IP address
• C. transfer computer files between a client and a server
• D. Distribute and update dynamic IP address

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as the primary function of DNS (Domain Name System) is to resolve domain names to their corresponding IP addresses. Option A is incorrect because sending emails involves SMTP, not DNS. Option C is wrong since file transfer is handled by protocols like FTP, and option D does not accurately represent DNS, which does not manage dynamic IP allocation.
