Experiment 9
Student Name: Tribhuvan Singh UID: 23ICS80003
Branch: CSE Section/Group: 611 - A
Semester: 5th Date of Performance:14/10/24
Subject Name: Computer Networks Subject Code: 22CSH-312

1. Aim: Configuring DNS Server and accessing web Resources by Domain Name.

2. Objective: To configure a DNS (Domain Name System) server and access web
resources using domain names instead of IP addresses. This process involves setting
up a DNS server, creating DNS records, and testing the resolution of domain names to
access web resources efficiently.

3. Requirements:

Hardware:
 A computer or server for hosting the DNS server.
 Client machines to test DNS resolution.

Software:
 Linux (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) or Windows Server.
 DNS server software (e.g., BIND for Linux or Microsoft DNS for Windows Server).
 Text editor (e.g., nano, vim for Linux or Notepad for Windows).
 Network tools (e.g., nslookup, dig, ping).

Network Configuration:
 Access to configure IP addresses
 Basic knowledge of IP addressing and subnetting.
 IP addresses for your DNS server and the web resources to be accessed.

4. Procedure:

Physical Connection:
 Connect each computer to the network switch using Ethernet cables.
 Ensure the network switch is powered on and operational.
Check Connectivity:
DEPARTMENT OF
COMPUTER SCIENCE & ENGINEERING
 Verify physical connections and power status.
 Ensure that each computer is properly connected to the network.
Configuring IP Addresses
 Go to Control Panel → Network and Sharing Center → Change adapter settings.
 Right-click on your network connection and select Properties.
 Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click Properties.
 Choose Use the following IP address and enter:
 IP address: e.g., 192.168.1.2 for the first computer, 192.168.1.3 for the second
computer.
 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
 Default gateway: Leave blank or enter the gateway IP if needed.
 Click OK to apply settings.

6. Learning Outcome
 Understand how to configure a DNS server to resolve domain names to IP addresses.
 Be able to set up DNS zone files and records (A, CNAME, NS).
 Test domain name resolution using tools like nslookup and dig.
 Access web resources using domain names, improving user-friendly access to network
resources.
 Gain insight into troubleshooting DNS-related issues and ensuring efficient name resolution.
