How to resolve the service provider DNS from L2 switch.
Find the detailed scenario in attached network diagram with router and switch configurations.
The network is-
Internet-Service Provider Modem-Cisco router-Cisco switch-pc/desktop
with this setup we are able to ping the network of
1. Service provider(LAN & WAN IPs-123.*.*.* & 192.168.1.1/30)
2. External DNS (202.*.*.*) from pc/desktop(172.16.0.3/29- entered static IP with static Service provider DNS in TCP/IP properties)
but if i browse the google.com from desktop , showing DNS error and google.com not opened.From this same dektop we are able to ping the public IP of google.com.
why this PC/desktop can't resolved the DNS or not able to access the internet?
If i ping from cisco router(192.168.1.2/30) to google.com, the DNS was resolved and ping response is also OK,
but if i ping to google.com from cisco switch(172.16.0.2/29), the DNS was not resolved & gives request time out or no ping response.
Service Provider DNS IPs are alredy added same in switch and router.
1. Which commands are require to be enter in the switch for all FE ports will be able to resolve service provider DNS? & access the internet from switch end.
2. Is it any DNS forwarding configuration required by switch? or any configuration to be update or change in current configurations? Kindly help.

Your switch is a L2 switch so it does no DNS forwarding. The switch is nothing to do with the problem you have.
Can you -
1) post the output of "ipconfig /all" from your pc/desktop
2) Try to access google.com by IP address rather then URL in your browser and report the results.

Your router DNS servers are different from your PC's, is this just a typo ? ie.
router name servers -
202.149.108.192
202.149.108.111
PC name servers -
202.149.208.92
202.149.208.11
As you router can resolve DNS names i suggest you update the client and test again.

Just to clarify where we are
1) You can ping the IP of google AND www.google.com from the router ?
2) From the desktop you can ping the IP of google and you can ping the DNS servers but you cannot ping www.google.com ?
If so can you
1) on the desktop in a dos prompt can you type
"nslookup" and post the result
2) post a "traceroute

Hello,
i don't see any problem with you config just verify this tips:
1-if ip routing enable on your switch please add default route pointing to your router inside interface.
2-make sure port F0/24 on the switch is dot1q encapsulation insted of ISL.
3-Vlan 100 is created on the switch if you issue show vlan bri
4-PC gateway is your router not switch.
5-try other static DNS on your PC like 4.2.2.2 or 217.17.233.49.
please let me know how is going with you.

1. FYI.ip routing not worked in L2 switch
2. Yes: F0/24 switch dot1q encapsulation
3. I had added PC gateway as a router ip instaed of switch
4. Mentioned DNS also tried.
But problem is same as it is:
1. google.com is not ping from pc/desktop end, but ip of google.com ping ok.google.com resolved from router but not switch.
2. Instead of google.com, ip works in browser to open google.com.
Still i am in same issue phase,Why L2 switch or ethernet ports not resolved public DNS? Give your valuable suggestion.
