Specifying a domain name suffix for DHCP clients
About domain name suffix for DHCP clients
You can specify a domain name suffix in a DHCP address pool on the DHCP server. With this suffix
assigned, the client only needs to input part of a domain name, and the system adds the domain
name suffix for name resolution. For more information about DNS, see "Configuring DNS."
Procedure
1. Enter system view.
system-view
2. Enter DHCP address pool view.
dhcp server ip-pool pool-name
3. Specify a domain name suffix.
domain-name domain-name
By default, no domain name is specified.
Specifying DNS servers for DHCP clients
About DNS servers for DHCP clients
To access hosts on the Internet through domain names, a DHCP client must contact a DNS server to
resolve names. You can specify up to eight DNS servers in a DHCP address pool.
Procedure
1. Enter system view.
system-view
2. Enter DHCP address pool view.
dhcp server ip-pool pool-name
3. Specify DNS servers.
dns-list ip-address&<1-8>
By default, no DNS server is specified.
Specifying WINS servers and NetBIOS node type for DHCP
clients
About WINS servers and NetBIOS node type for DHCP clients
A Microsoft DHCP client using NetBIOS protocol must contact a WINS server for name resolution.
In addition, you must specify one of the following NetBIOS node types to approach name resolution:
• b (broadcast)-node—A b-node client sends the destination name in a broadcast message.
The destination returns its IP address to the client after receiving the message.
• p (peer-to-peer)-node—A p-node client sends the destination name in a unicast message to
the WINS server. The WINS server returns the destination IP address.
• m (mixed)-node—An m-node client broadcasts the destination name. If it receives no
response, it unicasts the destination name to the WINS server to get the destination IP address.
• h (hybrid)-node—An h-node client unicasts the destination name to the WINS server. If it
receives no response, it broadcasts the destination name to get the destination IP address.
