Global Address Pool-Based DHCP Server Configuration 131
You can configure domain names to be used by DHCP clients for address pools. After
you do this, the DHCP server provides the domain names to the DHCP clients as well
while the former assigns IP addresses to the DHCP clients.
Configuring NetBIOS
Services for DHCP
Clients
For Microsoft Windows-based DHCP clients that communicate through NetBIOS
protocol, the host name-to-IP address translation is carried out by WINS (Windows
internet naming service) servers. So you need to perform WINS-related configuration
for most Windows-based hosts. Currently, you can configure up to eight NetBIOS
addresses for a DHCP address pool.
Host name-to-IP address mappings are needed for DHCP clients communicating
through NetBIOS protocol. According to the way to establish the mapping, NetBIOS
nodes fall into the following four categories:
■ B-node. Nodes of this type establish their mappings through broadcasting. (The
character b stands for the word broadcast.)
■ P-node. Nodes of this type establish their mappings by communicating with
NetBIOS servers. (The character p stands for peer-to-peer.)
■ M-node. Nodes of this type are p-nodes mixed with broadcasting features. (The
character m stands for the word mixed.)
■ H-node. Nodes of this type are b-nodes mixed with peer-to-peer features. (The
character h stands for the word hybrid.)
