PRACTICE 2
Chavez Tonato Jessica Paulina
jchavezt@est.ups.edu.ec
Summary: This document presents the simulation
of the procedure to configure and check the various
servers, services and records.
Key words : Packet Tracer, vty, console, router,
Lan, Wan, switch
OBJECTIVES
1.1. GENERAL OBJECTIVE
Deploy DNS servers, DHCP, Web and
email address by using simulation software.
1.2. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE
Configure and verify the DHCP services
Configure, and test Web services
Configure and verify the DNS records
Configure and verify the email services
2. THEORETICAL FRAME
2.1 Network SOFTWARE
2.1.1 Hierarchies of protocols
Most of the networks are organized as a stack of
layers, or levels, each constructed from which is
below
A protocol is an agreement between the parties
communicating to establish the way in which this
communication will take place.
2.1.2. The relationship between services and
protocols
Services and protocols are different concepts. So it
should be emphasized that:
1
Fecha: 06/10/2017
A service is a set of primitive (operations) provided
by a layer a layer that is on top of it. The service
defines what operations can perform coating for the
benefit of its users, but says nothing about how to
implement these operations.
In contrast, a protocol is a set of rules governing the
format and meaning of packets or messages
exchanged equal entities on a layer.
2.2.3 Control in Internet protocols
Also the IP that is used for the data transfer, Internet
has several complementary control protocols that
are used in the network, such as ICMP, ARP and
DHCP layer.
2.2.4 DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol
Some Internet protocols assume that hosts are
configured with some basic information, such as
your own IP addresses. How they obtained this
information hosts? It is possible to configure each
computer manually, but it is a tedious and error-
prone process to errors. There is a better way to do
it, known as DHCP.
When the server receives the request, it assigned a
free IP address and sends it to the host in a DHCP
OFFER packet (which can also be transmitted
through the router). So that this can work even when
the hosts do not have IP addresses, the server
identifies a host through its Ethernet address (which
is transported in the DHCP DISCOVER packet).
The assignment of IP addresses may be for a fixed
period of time, a technique known as a lease. Just
before the expiry of the lease, the host must request
renewal DHCP. If you can not make a request, or if
it is rejected, perhaps host no longer can use the IP
address received before.
DHCP is described in the RFC 2131 and 2132. Used
widely on the Internet to set up all kinds of
parameters, in addition to providing IP addresses to
hosts. Just as in the networks of
Some common examples of information that is
configured with DHCP include the netmask, the IP

read from a disk, or the result of a query in a
database and the execution of a program.
As an example, the URL of the next page is:
http://www.cs.washington.edu/index.html
2.2.6 DNS: domain name system

The essence of the DNS is the invention of a

hierarchical naming scheme based on domains and
a distributed database system to implement this
naming scheme. DNS is used mainly to associate
hostnames to IP addresses, but can also be used
for other purposes. The DNS is defined in the RFCs
1034, 1035, and 2181, and is elaborated in more
detail in many other RFCs.
2.2.7 Email

In Figure 2-2 shows the architecture of the electronic

mail system, which consists of two types of
subsystems: user agents, which allow people to Fig 2. Simulated network in Packet Tracer
read and send e-mail, and agents of message
transfer, moving messages of the source to target. Configuration of DHCP addressing

1. Click on WRS and, subsequently, click on

the GUI tab (maximize the window).
1.1 The Basic Setup window is displayed by
default. Set the following parameters in
the Network Setupsection: (see Figure 3)
Fig 1. Architecture of the electronic mail system.

User-agent is a program that provides a graphic

interface, or sometimes an interface based on text
and commands, which allows you to interact with the
email system. It includes a means to write
messages and responses to these, deploy incoming
messages and organize them to archiving, search,
and delete them. The Act of sending new messages
to the mail delivery system is known as mail.

section takes place in the Home Office. It will be
configured with DHCP all devices terminals of this

2.1 Click on HomeDesktop and then click
on the Desktop, then in IP

In the IP Configuration section choose DHCP and
wait until the WRS has responded to the request of
DHCP, this is evident when the device has acquired
an IP address with the other parameters set on the
DHCP server.

2.1.1 Currently HomeDesktop must possess a
complete IP configuration. If not, turn off and turn on
the device, and then check the IP allocation.
How can I verify that the device has
acquired the IP correctly?
It is the Gateway address, plus all devices
have the same mask.
