Hello, I’m looking for some help on this challenge, I’ve been stuck for a while now. I can ping Browser-B: 10.10.10.2 by IP and host name. I can ping Linux-B: 10.10.10.10 by IP, but not by host name. I’m trying to figure out which area of the gns3 simulator I should be looking at. Is it a configuration issue on Linux A or B, or is the problem in the Psense firewall settings? Any guidance would be appreciated!
Still stuck on this if anybody has time and can check it out. I’m finished all of the other challenges but I can’t continue without this one. Thanks!
The grader wants to ping Linux-B and Browser-B by name. You need to add Linux-B and Browser-B to the DNS server (clab.local zone)
Thanks Joseph. Do I need to add an entry to /etc/hosts or is it done through pfsense? If you could point me in the right direction I’d appreciate it.
There is a DNS server in the network. You can access it via Browser-A. It’s all GUI driven so you don’t have to hand-edit zone file records. The reason I include this in the lab is because name resolution is a big deal and it’s often overlooked troubleshooting networks.

Thank you so much. I honestly didn’t open Browser-A because the challenge didn’t state there was an issue with it, but I do see the DNS site as a favorite!

i have the opposite, i can ping linux-b (after having added it to the dns) but i am unable to ping browser-b. browser-b was already in the dns clab.local zone. in network b i can ping 10.10.10.2 from network a i can ping 10.10.10.10 but not 10.10.10.2, so after updating the resolv.conf file with linux-b and browser-b and search clab.local i can ping linux-b from network a, but i cannot ping browser-b which is normal since i cannot ping 10.10.10.2
What do i miss ? i have started the vpn on firewall a, the dns service on firewall b, added the network a dns nameserver in resolv.conf
any feedback ?i am stuck and cannot move forward
