Question

Refer to the exhibit. An administrator must fix the SRV records to ensure that server1.sample.com is always contacted first from the three servers. Which solution should the engineer apply to resolve this issue?

Options

APriority = 100, Weight = 90
BPriority = 10, Weight = 10
CPriority = 10, Weight = 5
DPriority = 5, Weight = 70

Explanation

To ensure server1.sample.com is always contacted first among SRV records, it must be assigned the lowest priority value, as lower priority numbers indicate higher preference.

Common mistakes.

A. A priority of 100 is a high priority value, meaning it would be contacted after servers with lower priority numbers, not first.
B. A priority of 10 is higher than 5, so if there is an option with a priority of 5, the server with 10 would not be contacted first.
C. A priority of 10 is higher than 5, so if there is an option with a priority of 5, the server with 10 would not be contacted first.
