    1. The document discusses configuring a DHCP and DNS server to automate IP address assignment and domain name resolution. DHCP allows devices to obtain IP addresses and other network configuration information automatically from a central server. DNS servers translate between domain names and IP addresses. 2. The procedures demonstrate setting up a DHCP server to assign IP addresses to clients from a pool of addresses. A DNS server is also configured to resolve domain names to IP addresses. Tests are performed to validate name resolution and access to websites using their domain names. 3. Additional configurations include adding another network with its own DHCP and DNS servers. Tests confirm clients on the new network can obtain IP addresses, resolve names, and access resources using domain names.

    DHCP and DNS Server Configuration

    1. Objective:
    Learn how to apply DHCP on server and PCs will be assigned IP addresses through
    DHCP. 

    2. Recourses Required:
     Computer
     Packet Tracer (version 5 or higher)

    3. Introduction

    3.1. DHCP Server

    Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a client/server protocol that


    automatically provides an Internet Protocol (IP) host with its IP address and other
    related configuration information such as the subnet mask and default gateway.
    DHCP allows hosts to obtain required TCP/IP configuration information from a
    DHCP server.

    Every device on a TCP/IP-based network must have a unique unicast IP address to


    access the network and its resources. Without DHCP, IP addresses for new computers
    or computers that are moved from one subnet to another must be configured
    manually; IP addresses for computers that are removed from the network must be
    manually reclaimed.

    With DHCP, this entire process is automated and managed centrally. The DHCP
    server maintains a pool of IP addresses and leases an address to any DHCP-enabled
    client when it starts up on the network. Because the IP addresses are dynamic (leased)
    rather than static (permanently assigned), addresses no longer in use are automatically
    returned to the pool for reallocation. The network administrator establishes DHCP
    servers that maintain TCP/IP configuration information and provide address
    configuration to DHCP-enabled clients in the form of a lease offer.

    3.2. DNS server

    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 common names to IP addresses as requested. DNS servers run special software
    and communicate with each other using special protocols.

    The opposite is true too, that while we as humans can understand the words in the
    URL much easier than the IP address numbers, other computers and network devices
    understand the IP address.

    Therefore, we have DNS servers because we not only want to use human-readable names
    to access websites, but the computers need to use IP addresses to access websites. The
    DNS server is that translator between the hostname and IP address.

    4. Procedure
    Task 1: DHCP server
    1. Set-up the system in packet tracer with server, switch, hub and end devices

    2. Open the server and go to the Desktop tab, click IP Configuration and enter the IP
    address.  192.168.1.1
    3. Now go to the DHCP service of server and
     Enter IP for default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
     Start IP address: 192.168.1.0
     Maximum number of Users: 120
     Click Save.
    4. Now, click on any PC that is attached to the server, go to IP configuration and
    select DHCP. You will see that DHCP will successfully assign IP address to the
    PC. This will reduce manual effort of assigning IP addresses to each end system.
    5. We can also open the website of the server through any PC by going to the Web
    Browser option and entering the IP address of the server
    6. And we can ping the server by going to the PC’s command prompt and entering
    server’s IP address.

    Task 2: DHCP and DNS Configuration:

    1. Set-up the system in packet tracer with server, switch, router and end devices

    2. Set up the DHCP server.

    3. Now turn on the DHCP server

    Computer Communication Networks Lab Page 3


    4. Now, click on any PC that is attached to the DHCP server, go to IP configuration
    and select DHCP. You will see that DHCP will successfully assign IP address to
    the PC. It will adapt the default date way and DNS IP address of DHCP server.
    5. Add IP addresses to router interfaces.

    6. Set up the DNS server

    Computer Communication Networks Lab Page 4


    7. Assign IP address to the main server (gmail.com)

    Computer Communication Networks Lab Page 5


    8. Perform the following and add print shot.
     Ping from PC0 to the server 20.0.0.2 and see the response from command prompt.
     Type http://www.gmail.com in URL of any PC and see the content of web page.
     Name the URL to your own name. Add the title ‘Your name’ and Edit the content
    to add your university details.
     Now add another server with the router with a different network address.
    Configure IP addresses and add it to the DNS server.
     Now ping it from any PCs attached to this network. Change the content of HTML
    file and show the results.
