dynamic allocation
forbidden-ip ip-address&<1-8>
Optional
Except IP addresses of the DHCP
server interfaces, all addresses in
the DHCP address pool are
assignable by default.
NOTE:
Excluded IP addresses specified with the forbidden-ip command in DHCP address pool view are not
assignable in the current extended address pool, but are assignable in other address pools.
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 will add the domain name suffix for name resolution. For more information
about DNS, see the chapter “IPv4 DNS configuration.”

Configuring DNS servers for the client
A DHCP client contacts a Domain Name System (DNS) server to resolve names. You can specify up to
eight DNS servers in the DHCP address pool.

Configuring WINS servers and NetBIOS node type for the
client
A Microsoft DHCP client using NetBIOS protocol contacts a Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS)
server for name resolution. Therefore, the DHCP server should assign a WINS server address when
assigning an IP address to the client.
