Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v10) — Question 129

What is the purpose of DNS AAAA record?

Answer options

• A. Address prefix record
• B. Address database record
• C. Authorization, Authentication and Auditing record
• D. IPv6 address resolution record

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, D, refers to the fact that a DNS AAAA record maps a hostname to an IPv6 address, facilitating the resolution of domain names within the IPv6 protocol. The other options do not accurately describe the purpose of a AAAA record, as they refer to different types of records or concepts unrelated to DNS.
