6.3.5 (Optional) Configuring the Static DNS Service on a DHCP
Client
This section describes how to specify the DNS domain name used by the DHCP client on the
network and the IP address of the DNS server.
Context
When a host accesses the Internet through the domain name, the domain name needs to be
resolved to the IP address. This is implemented by the DNS. To ensure that a DHCP client can
successfully connect to the Internet, the DHCP server needs to specify the DNS server address
when allocating the IP address to the client.
Procedure
Step 1
Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2
Run:
ip pool
ip-pool-name
The IP address view is displayed.
Step 3
Run:
domain-name
domain-name
The DNS domain name that is assigned to the DHCP client is configured.
On the DHCP server, you can specify a DNS domain name used by the client for each address
pool.
Step 4
Run:
dns-list
ip-address
&<1-8>
The IP address of the DNS server connected to the DHCP client is configured.
To perform load balancing on traffic and improve network reliability, you can configure multiple
DNS servers. An address pool can be configured with a maximum of eight DNS server addresses.

6.3.6 (Optional) Configuring the Static NetBIOS Service on a DHCP
Client
The NetBIOS server parses host names into IP addresses for the hosts that communicate based
on NetBIOS and runs the Windows operating system.
