Configuring A Domain Name Suffix For The Client; Configuring Dns Servers For The Client; Configuring Wins Servers And Netbios Node Type For The Client - HP 5920 Series Configuration Manual

Configuring a domain name suffix for the client

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
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

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.
To configure DNS servers in a 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 must contact a WINS server for name resolution. You
can specify up to eight WINS servers for such clients in a DHCP address pool.
In addition, you must specify a NetBIOS node type for the clients to approach name resolution. 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.
To configure WINS servers and NetBIOS node type in a DHCP address pool:
Command
