Lab Assignment 4
Design and configure a network using

1. DNS SERVER :
2. DHCP SERVER :
3. WEB SERVER :
4. E-MAIL SERVER :
5. Describe DNS, DHCP, WEB server and E-Mail servers.

DNS SERVER:

A DNS server is a key component of the internet that translates


domain names into IP addresses. It acts as a database or phonebook,
allowing devices to find and connect to other devices using domain
names. When you enter a domain name, the DNS server resolves it to
the corresponding IP address through a series of queries and
responses. There are recursive DNS servers that handle client queries
and authoritative DNS servers that hold DNS records for specific
domains. DNS servers are essential for the proper functioning of the
internet and enable us to access websites and services using domain
names.
DHCP SERVER:
A DHCP server automatically assigns IP addresses and network
configuration information to devices on a network. It simplifies
network setup by dynamically allocating IP addresses and other
necessary settings. When a device connects to a DHCP-enabled
network, it sends a request to the DHCP server, which responds by
assigning an available IP address and providing other configuration
details. DHCP servers streamline network administration, ensure
consistent configuration, and support scalability in managing IP
address allocation.

WEB SERVER:
A web server is a software application that receives requests from
client devices, such as web browsers, and delivers web content, such
as HTML pages and files, in response. It processes requests, retrieves
resources, generates responses, and sends them back to clients. Web
servers play a crucial role in serving web pages and facilitating
communication between clients and servers on the internet.

E-MAIL SERVER:
An email server is a software or hardware system that handles the
sending, receiving, and storage of email messages. It acts as a central
hub for email communication, facilitating the transfer of messages
between senders and recipients. Email servers utilize protocols such
as SMTP for sending emails and POP3 or IMAP for receiving and
accessing emails. They also include features like spam filtering,
storage, and security measures to ensure efficient and secure email
communication.
