[SOLVED] WEB375 LAB 2 CONFIGURE A DNS SERVER IN LINUX: TASK A—Configure DNS server

Step 1: Use TigerVNC to logon to the PLABFED01 system. Open a terminal window, switch to root, and make sure the bind package is installed. Type the following command.
rpm -q bind bind-utils

Step 2: If it tells you that the package is not installed then you need to install it; otherwise skip
To install bind on Fedora Linux system, type the following.
yum –y install bind bind-utils

Step 3: To enable the name server at boot time, type the following.
