Exam D-PE-FN-01 Topic 2 Question 45 Discussion

Actual exam question for EMC's D-PE-FN-01 exam
Question #: 45
Topic #: 2
A system administrator is unable to access the hypervisor by hostname. However, the hypervisor is responding to pings using the IP address. Which server role should be investigated?

Suggested Answer: D Vote an answer

If a hypervisor on a PowerEdge server is accessible by IP but not by hostname, the Domain Name System (DNS) server role should be investigated. DNS resolves hostnames to IP addresses, and a failure here prevents hostname-based access. WINS is for legacy NetBIOS, ARP handles IP-to-MAC mapping, and DHCP assigns IPs, not relevant to hostname resolution. DNS is critical for network connectivity. Exact extract: "Compare the on-board network on a PowerEdge Server... Describe the cables and connections." Reference: Dell PowerEdge Foundations v2 Exam Description (D-PE-FN-01), Topic: Server Networking and Connectivity (6%).
