Free Palo Alto Networks Cybersecurity-Apprentice Actual Exam Questions - Question 5 Discussion
names but can access them using IP addresses. Which function of DNS is most relevant to resolving this
issue?
It’s C because the problem is definitely failing to translate domain names to IPs.
A imo, because if DNS assigned IPs wrong, name resolution would fail too.
C imo, because the problem is users can reach sites by IP but not by name, so the DNS's job to translate names to IPs isn’t working right. Options A, B, and D don’t really fit this scenario.
C, since the issue is clearly about mapping names to IPs, not encryption or MACs.
Option C, because DNS translates domain names to IPs, which isn’t happening here.
This one’s about DNS translating names to numbers, right? So the key function here is domain-to-IP resolution, which matches option C. The users can reach sites by IP but not by name, so DNS isn’t resolving those domain names properly. Options A, B, and D don’t really fit because DNS doesn’t assign IPs, handle encryption directly, or do MAC address conversion. Definitely C feels like the main thing to look into here.
