EXPERIMENT-9

Student Name: Aditi Mourya UID: 22BCS11624


Branch: BE-CSE Section/Group: BCS_IOT_641-A
Semester: 5 Date of Performance: 1-10-24
Subject Name: Computer Networks Subject Code: 22CSH-312

1. Aim:
Configuring DNS Server and accessing web Resources by Domain Name.
2. Objective:
 Set up a DNS server to resolve domain names to IP addresses.
 Configure DNS zones for domain management (e.g., forward and reverse
lookup zones).
 Assign domain names to internal or external web resources.
 Ensure clients can access web resources using domain names instead of IP
addresses.
 Test DNS functionality by querying domain names and confirming correct
resolution.
 Verify web access using domain names from different devices within the
network..
3. Requirements:

 CISCO PACKET TRACER

4. Theory:

DNS (Domain Name System) is a system that translates human-readable domain


names (e.g., www.example.com) into IP addresses (e.g., 192.168.1.1), enabling
devices to locate each other on a network. It works by querying DNS servers to
resolve domain names into corresponding IP addresses. This process allows users
to access websites using easy-to-remember names rather than numeric addresses.
DNS is a fundamental component of the internet, ensuring efficient communication
between devices.

5. Procedure:
 Add Devices: Place PCs, DNS server, Web server, router, and switch in the
workspace.
 Assign IP Addresses: Configure IP addresses for all devices (PCs, DNS server,
Web server,router).
 Connect Devices: Use cables to connect all devices to the switch.
 Enable DNS on Server: On the DNS server, enable DNS service and
configure a domainname
 Configure Web Server: Enable HTTP service on the Web server.
 Set DNS on PCs: Configure each PC to use the DNS server's IP address.
 Test Domain Resolution: On PCs, open a web browser and access the web
resource usingthe domain name
 Verify: Ensure DNS resolution and web access work correctly.

6. Output
7. Learning Outcomes:
• learn how to assign IP addresses and configure network settings for devices
in a LAN.
• develop basic troubleshooting skills by testing connectivity using ping.
• gain insight into subnet masks and how they affect network communication.
• Learn about subnetting and default gateway
• Learn to set up and configure network devices, including switches and PCs,
to demonstrate protocol functionality.
