A DNS server is a computer server that contains a database of public IP addresses and their

associated hostnames, and in most cases, serves to resolve, or translate, those common names to IP
addresses as requested.
This is necessary because, although domain names are easy for people to remember, computers or
machines, access websites based on IP addresses.
A DNS (Domain Name System) server is a type of web server used to interact with the domain
name system, which is the global directory of domain names and corresponding IP addresses.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol used to provide quick, automatic, and
central management for the distribution of IP addresses within a network.

DHCP is also used to configure the proper subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server
information on the device.
A DHCP server is used to issue unique IP addresses and automatically configure other network
information.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a client/server protocol that automatically
provides an Internet Protocol (IP) host with its IP address and other related configuration
information such as the subnet mask and default gateway
File server is a computer responsible for the central storage and management of data files so that
other computers on the same network can access the files.

A proxy server is a computer that acts as an intermediary between the user's computer and the
Internet. It allows client computers to make indirect network connections to other network
services.
A proxy server is a dedicated computer or a software system running on a computer that acts as an
intermediary between an endpoint device, such as a computer, and another server from which a
user or client is requesting a service.
LAN is the short form of Local Area Network. The hosts are connected on the same Ethernet
switch on different ports. The common devices used on LAN are Hubs and Switches.
VLAN is the short form of Virtual Local Area Network. It is also known as Virtual LAN. The
VLAN is basically configured on Ethernet switch. Unlike single LAN on Ethernet switch, multiple
Virtual LANs are implemented on single switch.
