The client may specify in its puppet.conf which environment it thinks it is in (key 'environment'). The ENC may also specify which environment a client is in by setting the variable "environment", but see http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3910 for problems related to that. Your master can specify the default environment for nodes that do not otherwise specify one, via the "environment" key in the [master] section of their own puppet.conf. I'm not sure offhand whether something like 3910 applies if the default is changed. This is all covered in the External Nodes Guide and the puppet.conf documentation.
