## Namespaced/Partitioned Services and Nodes <EnterpriseAlert inline />
Consul Enterprise supports resolving namespaced and partitioned services and nodes via DNS.
Consul Enterprise supports resolving namespaced and partitioned services via DNS.
The DNS server in Consul Enterprise can resolve services assigned to namespaces and partitions.
The DNS server can also resolve nodes assigned to partitions.
To maintain backwards compatibility existing queries can be used and these will
resolve services within the `default` namespace and partition. However, for resolving
services from other namespaces or partitions the following form can be used:

This is the canonical name of a Consul Enterprise service. Currently at least 2 of
`[namespace, partition, datacenter]` must be present - in a future version (once the
[`prefer_namespace` configuration](/docs/agent/config/config-files#dns_prefer_namespace) has been

and may be individually omitted to default to the `default` namespace, local partition
or local datacenter respectively.
This sequence is the canonical naming convention of a Consul Enterprise service. At least two of the following
fields must be present:
* `namespace`
* `partition`
* `datacenter`
For node lookups, only the partition and datacenter need to be specified as nodes cannot be
namespaced.
