PC Configuration
The above screenshot demonstrates the IP address used for the configuration of the PC.
The IP address used for the configuration of the interface of the router is used as the gateway
address of the PC (Wallace, 2014). The IP address used for the configuration of the DNS server
is used for the configuration of the PC with DNS. Here The IP address of the PC is 172.16.1.2
Subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, default gateway is 172.16.1.1 and the DNS server address is
172.16.3.3.
Server Configuration
WEB Server

TCP/IP NETWORKING
For the configuration of the web server the IP address 172.16.3.6 is used and the default
gateway is 172.6.3.1 since it is used as the IP address of the fast Ethernet address of the second
router (Nunes et al., 2014). The IP address of the DNS server “172.16.3.3” is used for the
configuration of the WEB server DNS address.
DHCP Server

TCP/IP NETWORKING
The DHCP server is configured with the IP address 172.16.3.2 and static IP address is used for
the configuration. For the configuration of the DHCP server it is first configured with a static IP
address according to the addressing plan and a default gateway is assigned using which the
server would send and receive data packets in the network.
DNS Server
The DNS server is configured with the IP address 172.16.3.3 and in the service option the
and DNS service the URL is used as www.gagandeep.csu.edu.au for the configuration of the dns
server.
