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 adds the domain name suffix for name resolution. For more information
about DNS, see "Configuring IPv4 DNS."

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.

Configuring WINS servers and NetBIOS node type for the client
A Microsoft DHCP client using NetBIOS protocol must contact a Windows Internet Naming Service
(WINS) server for name resolution. You can specify up to eight WINS servers for such clients in a DHCP
address pool.
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.
