GCIH Exam - Question 61


Failing DNS, what will modern Windows systems use to resolve names of other systems?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: BD

When DNS fails, modern Windows systems use Link-Local Multicast Name Resolution (LLMNR) to resolve names of other systems. LLMNR allows both IPv4 and IPv6 hosts on the same local network to resolve each other's names without requiring a DNS server, using multicast messages for this purpose. This helps in scenarios where DNS is not available or cannot resolve the required names.

LLMNR is a protocol that allows both IPv4 and IPv6 hosts on a single subnet to resolve each other's names when DNS name resolution is not possible. It operates similarly to DNS but uses multicast messages instead of unicast messages for name resolution. Therefore, if DNS resolution fails, Windows systems will fall back to LLMNR to resolve names of other systems on the local network.
