domain names to IP addresses
5. What is DHCP
Ans: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a client/server protocol that enables a server
to automatically assign an IP address to a computer from a defined range of numbers (i.e., a scope)
configured for a given network.
6. What is DNS & why we used ?
Ans: DNS is simply a database that links host names, such as http://www.jetking.com, to a specific
IP address, such as 192.168.124.1. Apart from this, DNS has many more features. The key features
of host name to IP mapping are as follows:
• Mappings of addresses to names and vice versa (known as records) are stored in a database.
• The DNS database is distributed.
• A DNS database also stores additional records.
7. Working process of DNS
Ans: When a DNS client needs to look up a name used in a program, it queries DNS servers to
resolve the name. For example, the name specified could be the FQDN for a computer, such as
“mumbai.jetking.com.”, DNS queries resolve in a number of different ways. A client can sometimes
answer a query locally using cached information obtained from a previous query. The DNS server
can use its own cache of resource record information to answer a query. A DNS server can also
query or contact other DNS servers on behalf of the requesting client to fully resolve the name, then
send an answer back to the client. This process is known as recursion.
In addition, the client itself can attempt to contact additional DNS servers to resolve a name. When a
client does so, it uses separate and additional nonrecursive queries based on referral answers from
servers. This process is known as iteration.
In general, the DNS query process occurs in two parts:
• A name query begins at a client computer and is passed to a resolver, the DNS Client service, for
resolution.

13. 13
• When the query cannot be resolved locally, DNS servers can be queried as needed to resolve the
name.
8. How to configure DHCP?
Ans: From the Network Administration group, start DHCP Manager. Under DHCP Servers, select
*Local Machine*. From the Scope menu, choose Create. Complete the scope configuration. The
DHCP server cannot be a DHCP client. It must have a static IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway address. You also have the option of assigning an exclusion range or specific excluded
addresses as well as lease duration and a name. Choose OK when done. Choose Yes to activate
the scope.
9. How to configure DNS?
Ans: Open the DNS console. Highlight your computer name and choose Action | Configure a DNS
Server… to launch the Configure DNS Server Wizard. Click Next and choose to configure the
following: forward lookup zone, forward and reverse lookup zone, root hints only. Click Next and
then click Yes to create a forward lookup zone. Click Next and type the name of the zone you are
creating. Click Next and then click Yes to create a reverse lookup zone. Choose whether you want
an IPv4 or IPv6 Reverse Lookup Zone. Click Next and enter the information to identify the reverse
lookup zone. You can choose to create a new file or use an existing DNS file On the Dynamic Update
window, specify how DNS accepts secure, nonsecure, or no dynamic updates. If you need to apply
a DNS forwarder, you can apply it on the Forwarders window. Click Finish
