Lab - Observe DNS Resolution Observe the DNS Conversion of a URL to an IP Address Pinging www.icann.org Q. Record the IP addresses for www.icann.org ? Ans. 192.0.47.7 Q. The Base 10 IP address 192.0.32.7 in Base 2 number is 11000000.00000000.00100000.00000111. What happens if you cut and paste these Base 2 numbers into a browser? Ans. The website does not display. The software code used in web browsers recognizes Base 10 numbers. It does not recognize Base 2 numbers.
Ping www.cisco.com Q. When you ping www.cisco.com, do you get the same IP address as the example? Explain Ans. The answer will vary depending on where you are geographically. Cisco hosts its web content on a series of mirror servers. This means that Cisco uploads the same content to geographically diverse (spread out worldwide) servers. When someone tries to reach www.cisco.com, the traffic is directed to the closest mirror server. Q. Type the IP address you obtained when pinged www.cisco.com into a browser. Does the website display? Explain Ans. The Cisco website does not display this. There are at least two possible explanations for this: 1. Some web servers are configured to accept IP addresses sent from a browser and some are not. 2. It may be a firewall rule in the Cisco security system that prohibits an IP address from being sent via a browser. Depending on the Web Browser you can also get a message saying the connection is not secure or there is a certificate error .
