Specifying 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 "Configuring DNS."

1. Enter system view.

2. Enter DHCP address pool view.

3. Specify a domain name suffix.
domain-name domain-name
By default, no domain name is
specified.
Specifying 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.

Specifying 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.
