Rebekkah Williams Professor Agress ITC2200 Networking Foundations February 7, 2024 DNS Assignment Hands-On Activity B Prerequisites 1. Use ipconfig/all command to find the IP address of your computer and your DNS server. Answer: IP Address: 10.0.0.7 DNS Server: 168.63.129.16 2. So that we can explore the DNS request and response properly, the first step is to empty your DNS cache. 3. Open Wireshark and enter “ip.addr==your IP address” into the filter to only capture packets that either originate or are destined for your computer. 4. Start packet capture in Wireshark. 5. With your browser, visit www.ietf.org . 6. Stop packet capture after the Web page is loaded. Deliverables 1. Locate the DNS query and response message for www.ietf.org. In Figure 5-27, they are packets 27 and 28. Are these packets sent over UDP or TCP?
Answer: They are sent over UDP. 2. What is the destination port for the DNS query message? What is the source port of the DNS response message? Answer: The destination port for the DNS query message is 53 and the source port for the DNS response message is also 53. Destination Port – DNS query: Source Port – DNS Response
3. To what IP address is the DNS query message sent? Compare this IP address to your local DNS server IP address. Are these two IP addresses the same? Answer: The DNS query message is sent to 168.63.129.16, which is the same as my DNS server. 4. The www.ietf.org contains several images. Before retrieving each image, does your host issue a new DNS query? Why or why not? Answer: The host does not issue a new DNS query because the images are all loaded, and the host uses a cached address. 5. Now locate the HTTP Get message. What is the source and destination IP address? Compare the source to your IP address. Are these the same? Answer: The source IP address is the same as my IP address, 10.0.0.7 and the destination IP address is 104.16.44.99.

6. Approximately how many HTTP GET request messages did your browser send? Why was there a need to send additional HTTP GET messages? Answer: My browser sent one HTTP GET request. Additional HTTP GET messages may have needed to be sent if the web page contained images or other resources that needed to be retrieved or if certain resources are cached.
