    What is the function of the mail servers?

    • They operate like a phone book. When attempting to connect to a website, you would type www.yahoo.ca (for example) into the address bar of your browser. The DNS server searches for the IP address of the website you requested and associates it with your request.
    • They operate like an electronic post office. They are responsible for the sending and receiving of email messages.
    • The mail server is responsible for managing all incoming and outgoing bandwidth and counts the amount of bandwidth that a modem connected to the Cogeco network is using. This is the backbone for the usage billing system and is how Cogeco decides if a particular area is in need of an upgrade.

    Correct Answer
    A. The DHCP server is responsible for issuing a unique IP address to every computer connected to the Cogeco network.
    Explanation
    The DHCP server is responsible for assigning a unique IP address to each computer connected to the Cogeco network. This allows the computers to communicate with other devices on the network and access the internet. Without DHCP, network administrators would have to manually assign IP addresses to each computer, which would be time-consuming and prone to errors. The DHCP server automates this process, ensuring that each computer has a unique IP address and simplifying network management.
