For more information on the keywords, see the DHCP ATTRIBUTES in the :doc:`site </guides/admin-guides/references/man5/site.5>` table.

chdef
command:chdef -t site domain="domain_string" chdef -t site fowarders="forwarders" chdef -t site master="xcat_master_ip" chdef -t site nameservers="nameserver1,nameserver2,etc"
[1] | The value of the master attribute in the site table should be set as the IP address of the management node responsible for the compute node. |
Initialize the DNS [2] services on the xCAT Management Node:
makedns -n
Verify DNS is working by running
nslookup
against your Management Node:nslookup <management_node_hostname>
For more information on DNS, refer to :ref:`dns_label`
[2] | Setting up name resolution and the ability to have hostname resolved to IP addresses is required for xCAT. |
