The lab report discusses:
1) Configuring a router as a DHCP server to automatically assign IP addresses to devices on the local network.
2) Setting up a DNS server to resolve domain names to IP addresses and configuring a web server with a public IP address.
3) Configuring DHCP, DNS, and an HTTP server when DHCP is used within a local area network (LAN).
4) Configuring DHCP when it is used for devices outside the LAN by adding a single line on the router.

Lab Report No.09 CONFIGURING DNS, DHCP AND HTTP SERVER Objective: The objective of this lab is: Understanding DHCP, DNS & HTTP How to configure these three Configurations having DHCP within a LAN Configurations having DHCP outside the LAN
DNS Server: The purpose of a DNS server is to translate what a user types into their browser into something a computer can understand and use to locate a website. In other words, its purpose is to convert a domain name such as www.example.com into an IP address such as 71.232.101.120. DHCP Server: DHCP is used by workstations (hosts) to get initial configuration information, such as an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway upon boot up. Since each host needs an IP address to communicate in an IP network, DHCP eases the administrative burden of manually configuring each host with an IP address. Furthermore, if a host moves to a different IP subnet, it must use a different IP address than the one it previously used. DHCP takes care of this automatically. It allows the host to choose an IP address in the correct IP subnet. HTTP Server: The operation of Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) involves the communication between a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) client application (Usually web browser) and a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server application (Web servers like IIS). Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) uses Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) as the Transport Layer Protocol at Well Known port number 80 “TASKS” Task No:01
Configuration of DHCP on Router
Solution: Router Configuration:
Automatic IP Address:
Automatic IP will be assigned to all the PCs connected via DHCP Server. Here the router is configured as DHCP server. Task No:02
Configuration of DNS and Web Server
Solution:
Web Server: Web Server access: DNS Server:
DNS Server Services:
The DNS server will have the IP address of the web server. When PC type the name of the web page the IP address is resolved via DNS server Task No:03
Configurating DHCP, DNS and HTTP Server having DHCP within
LAN.
Solution: Router Configuration: Fast Ethernet 0/0:
Fast Ethernet 1/0:
Fast Ethernet 6/0:
DHCP Server Pools:
ServerPool:
DNS Server: Web Server Page:
Automatic IP Address:
Automatic IP will be assigned to all the PCs connected via DHCP Server. DHCP server will assign automatic IP.The DNS server will have the IP address of the web server. When PC type the name of the web page the IP address is resolved via DNS server. Task No:04
Configurating DHCP outside LAN
Solution: Router Configuration: Fast Ethernet 0/0:
Fast Ethernet 1/0:
Fast Ethernet 6/0:
DHCP Server Pools:
ServerPool: ServerPool1: Automatic IP Address:
Router: Router0(config-if) # Ip helper-address 192.168.3.2
Just one line in the router for the configuration. The DHCP server will automatically assign IP addresses to all PC’s.
