– Client Identifier — Enter a unique identification of the client
specified in dotted hexadecimal notation, such as: 01b6.0819.6811.72.
or:
– MAC Address — Enter the MAC address of DHCP static host.
– Client Name — The name of the client, using a standard set of ASCII
characters. The client name must not include the domain name.
– Default Router — Enter the default router for the DHCP client.
–
Domain Name Server
— Enter the DNS server available to the DHCP
client.
– Domain Name — Enter the domain name for a DHCP client. The
domain name may contain up to 32 characters.
– NetBIOS WINS Server — Enter the NetBIOS WINS name server
available to a DHCP client.
– NetBIOS Node Type — Select how to resolve the NetBIOS name.
Valid node types are:
•
Empty — Default value.
• Broadcast — IP Broadcast messages are used to register and
resolve NetBIOS names to IP addresses.
• Peer-to-Peer — Point-to-point communications with a NetBIOS
name server are used to register and resolve computer names to IP
addresses.
•
Mixed
— A combination of b-node and p-node communications
is used to register and resolve NetBIOS names. M-node first uses
b-node; then, if necessary, p-node. M-node is typically not the best
choice for larger networks because its preference for b-node
Broadcasts increases network traffic.
• Hybrid — A hybrid combination of b-node and p-node is used.
When configured to use h-node, a computer always tries p-node
first and uses b-node only if p-node fails. This is the default.
– SNTP Server — Enter the IP address of the time server for the DHCP
client.
