Configuring DNS in packet tracer

• When configuring DNS in packet tracer, the first thing you need to do is create a server allocated for DNS and turn on DNS services. Assign an IP address for this server, and make sure to include the DNS server in the pools of DHCP servers so that your systems can find the DNS server.

• Once we have DNS on, we need to add records. Adding an A record for a system will make it accessible by DNS resolution for computers with access to that DNS server. To add an A record, come up with a name for the system such as dhcp.jack1.com and provide the address for that DHCP server. Add the record, and now any system can query that DNS server and communicate with the record by name.
