Hi there,<br />
When I go to my DHCP scope under addresses leases some of the addresses show some mobile devices names.mydomain.com. &nbsp;Is it normal for a DHCP server to show '.mydomainname.com' at the end of these devices even if the devices are NOT the member of the domain.<br />
Suggest please.

Hi there,
When I go to my DHCP scope under addresses leases some of the addresses show some mobile devices names.mydomain.com.  Is it normal for a DHCP server to show '.mydomainname.com' at the end of these devices even if the devices are NOT the member of the domain.
Suggest please.

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an auto configuration protocol used on IP networks and an extension of the Bootstrap Protocol. DHCP allows for computers to be configured automatically to communicate with each other over an IP network without the need for manual setup by a network administrator. The implementation of DHCP relies on a DHCP server to hand out network configuration information to DHCP-capable clients that request an IP address (and other information required or useful in communicating with other devices on an IP network). In addition to an IP address, common configuration information served over DHCP includes a default gateway, subnet mask and DNS sever(s).
