–
NetBIOS WINS Server —
Enter the NetBIOS WINS name server
available to a DHCP client. This is DHCP option 44.
–
NetBIOS Node Type —
Select how to resolve the NetBIOS name.
This is DHCP option 46. Valid node types are:
•
None
— Name will not be resolved.
•
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. This is DHCP option 4.
–

which the configuration file is downloaded. This is DHCP siaddr.

–
Image File Name
— Enter the name of the file that is used as a
configuration file. This is DHCP option 67.
Static Hosts
You might want to assign some DHCP clients a permanent IP address that
never changes. This client is then known as a static host.
To manually allocate a permanent IP address to a specific client:
1
Click
Network Administration > DHCP Server > Static Hosts.
The static hosts are displayed.
