What is DNS and how do I configure it in Cisco Packet Tracer? 🌐
Have you ever wondered how your computer knows that typing "google.es" should go to a specific IP address? 🤔 The answer is the DNS (Domain Name System)! In this tutorial, we'll configure our own name server in Cisco Packet Tracer to make your local network much more professional.
You'll learn how to create DNS records, configure client devices (PCs and laptops) to query your server, and, most importantly, we'll see in simulation mode how packets travel from the moment you type the name until the IP address is resolved. It's the definitive step to mastering network services!
