Dns server slide(h.m_merajul_hasan)
- 2. What is a DNS server used for? A DNS server is a computer server that contains a database of public IP addresses and their associated hostnames, and in most cases serves to resolve, or translate, those names to IP addresses as requested. DNS servers run special software and communicate with each other using special protocols DNS servers translate domain names into IP addresses, making it possible for DNS clients to reach the origin server. The main function of DNS is to translate domain names into IP Addresses, which computers can understand. It also provides a list of mail servers which accept Emails for each domain name. Each domain name in DNS will nominate a set of name servers to be authoritative for its DNS records. 1. Build the network topology. 2. Configure static IP addresses on the PCs and the server. Server IP address: 192.168.1.2 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 Default gateway: 192.168.1.1 DNS Server: 192.168.1.2
- 3. PC0 REPORT THIS AD IP add: 192.168.10.2 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 Default gateway: 192.168.1.1 DNS server: 192.168.1.2
- 4. PC1 IP address: 192.168.1.4 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 Default gateway: 192.168.1.1 DNS Server: 192.168.1.2
- 5. 3.Configure DNS service on the generic server. To do this, click on the server, then Click on Services tab. Click on DNS server from the menu. First turn ON the DNS service, then define names of the hosts and their corresponding IP addresses. For example, to specify the DNS entry for PC0: In the name and address fields, type: Name: PC0 Address: 192.168.1.3 Click on add then save. Repeat this for the PC1 and the server. Once you’re done, your DNS entries will look like this:
- 6. Finally, 4. Test domain name – IP resolution. Ping the hosts from one another using their names instead of their IP addresses. If the DNS service is turned on and all IP configurations are okay, then ping should work. For example, ping PC1 from PC0. Ping should be successful.
