Steps to Configure DNS Server on Cisco Packets

Tracer:
Step 1: Create a Network Topology

Build a basic network consisting of a router, a switch, a


DNS server, and at least one PC. This setup simulates a
small network environment.

Step 2: Configure the DNS Server


 Assign an IP address: Give the DNS server a static IP
address (172.18.10.1) within your network. This IP
address will be used by other devices to locate the DNS
server.

 Enable DNS service: Ensure the DNS service is


activated on the server. This allows the server to
process DNS queries.

Step 3: Step 3: Configure PC Clients


 Assign IP addresses: Provide each PC with a static IP
address within the same network as the DNS server.

 Configure DNS server address: In the PC’s network


settings, specify the IP address of the DNS server you
created in Step 2. This tells the PC where to send DNS
queries.

Step 4: Add Hostnames


 Create hostnames: Assign unique hostnames to each
PC. This is optional but can improve readability in your
network.

 Register hostnames: If you created hostnames,


register them on the DNS server. This allows other
devices to resolve the hostname to the corresponding IP
address.


Step 5: Verify DNS Resolution

 Open a command prompt: Access the command


prompt on one of the PCs.

 Ping a domain name: Use the ping command to test


DNS resolution. For example, ping google.com. If the DNS
server is working correctly, the PC will resolve the
domain name to its IP address and successfully ping the
website.

And Success!!
