Which two tasks can be performed by a local DNS server? (Choose two.)

  • providing IP addresses to local hosts
  • allowing data transfer between two network devices
  • mapping name-to-IP addresses for internal hosts
  • forwarding name resolution requests between servers
  • retrieving email messages

Explanation: Two important functions of DNS are to (1) provide IP addresses for domain names such as http://www.cisco.com, and (2) forward requests that cannot be resolved to other servers in order to provide domain name to IP address translation. DHCP provides IP addressing information to local devices. A file transfer protocol such as FTP, SFTP, or TFTP provides file sharing services. IMAP or POP can be used to retrieve an email message from a server.
