2.5.4 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
needs only input part of a domain name, and the system will add the domain name
suffix for name resolution. For details about DNS, refer to
DNS Configuration
of this
manual
.
Follow these steps to configure a domain name suffix in the DHCP address pool:

2.5.5 Configuring DNS Servers for the Client
When a DHCP client wants to access a host on the Internet via the host name, it
contacts a Domain Name System (DNS) server holding host name-to-IP address
mappings to get the host IP address. You can specify up to eight DNS servers in the
DHCP address pool.
