DNS
Computer users usually prefer to use text names for computers for which they may want to open a
connection. Computers themselves, require 32-bit IP addresses. Somewhere, a database of network
devices’ text names and their corresponding IP addresses must be maintained.
The Domain Name System (DNS) is used to map names to IP addresses throughout the Internet and
has been adapted for use within intranets. For two DNS servers to communicate across different
subnets, the DNS Relay of the Switch must be used. The DNS servers are identified by IP addresses.
Mapping Domain Names to Addresses
Name-to-address translation is performed by a program called a Name server. The client program is
called a Name resolver. A Name resolver may need to contact several Name servers to translate a
name to an address.
The Domain Name System (DNS) servers are organized in a somewhat hierarchical fashion. A single
server often holds names for a single network, which is connected to a root DNS server - usually
maintained by an ISP.
Domain Name Resolution
The domain name system can be used by contacting the name servers one at a time, or by asking the
domain name system to do the complete name translation. The client makes a query containing the
name, the type of answer required, and a code specifying whether the domain name system should
do the entire name translation, or simply return the address of the next DNS server if the server
receiving the query cannot resolve the name.
When a DNS server receives a query, it checks to see if the name is in its sub domain. If it is, the
server translates the name and appends the answer to the query, and sends it back to the client. If the
DNS server cannot translate the name, it determines what type of name resolution the client
requested. A complete translation is called recursive resolution. This requires the server to contact
