8.1.5 Configuring the Domain Name for the Client
The domain name of a DHCP client places the client in the general grouping of networks that make up the domain.
To configure a domain name string for the client, use the following command in DHCP pool configuration mode:
Router(config-dhcp)# domain-name domain
Use the no form of this command to remove the configured domain name.
8.1.6 Configuring the Domain Name System IP Servers for the Client
DHCP clients query DNS IP servers when they need to correlate host names to IP addresses. To configure the DNS
IP servers that are available to a DHCP client, use the following command in DHCP pool configuration mode:
Router(config-dhcp)# dns-server A.B.C.D
Note: You can specify up to eight DNS server IP addresses.
Use the no form of this command to remove the configured DNS server.
8.1.7 Configuring the NetBIOS Node Type for the Client
The NetBIOS node type for Microsoft DHCP clients can be one of four settings: broadcast, peer-to-peer, mixed, or
hybrid. To configure the NetBIOS node type for a Microsoft DHCP, use the following command in DHCP pool
configuration mode:
Router(config-dhcp)# netbios-node-type type
Use the no form of this command to reset to default NetBIOS type.
8.1.8 Configuring the NetBIOS Name Server for the Client
To configure NetBIOS Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) name servers that are available to Microsoft
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) clients, use the netbios-name-server DHCP pool configuration
command. Use the no form of this command to remove the NetBIOS name server list.
Router(config-dhcp)# netbios-name-server A.B.C.D
8.1.9 Configuring the Next Server for the Client
To configure the next server in a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client’s boot process, use the next-
server DHCP pool configuration command. Use the no form of this command to remove the boot server list.
Router(config-dhcp)# next-server A.B.C.D
8.1.10 Configuring the Default Router for the Client
After a DHCP client has booted, the client begins sending packets to its default router. The IP address of the default
router should be on the same subnet as the client. To configure a default router for a DHCP client, use the following
command in DHCP pool configuration mode:
