Configuring a domain name suffix for the client
You can specify a domain name suffix in each DHCP address pool on the DHCP server to provide the
clients with the domain name suffix. With this suffix assigned, the client only needs to input part of a
domain name, and the system will add the domain name suffix for name resolution. For more information
about DNS, see "Configuring IPv4 DNS."
To configure a domain name suffix in the DHCP address pool:
Step
1.
Enter system view.
2.
Enter DHCP address pool view.
3.
Specify a domain name suffix.
Configuring DNS servers for the client
A DHCP client contacts a Domain Name System (DNS) server to resolve names. You can specify up to
eight DNS servers in the DHCP address pool.
To configure DNS servers in the DHCP address pool:
Step
1.
Enter system view.
2.
Enter DHCP address pool
view.
3.
Specify DNS servers.
Configuring WINS servers and NetBIOS node type for the
client
A Microsoft DHCP client using NetBIOS protocol contacts a Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS)
server for name resolution. Therefore, the DHCP server should assign a WINS server address when
assigning an IP address to the client.
You can specify up to eight WINS servers in a DHCP address pool.
You must also specify a NetBIOS node type in a DHCP address pool. There are four NetBIOS node
types:
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, and 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.
