Domain Name Server —
Specifies the DNS server available to the DHCP client.
Domain Name—
Specifies
NetBIOS WINS Server —
Specifies the NetBIOS WINS server available to a Microsoft DHCP static
host.
NetBIOS Node Type —
Informs the workstation how to resolve the NetBIOS name. Valid node types
are:
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 (mix) 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 —
Specifies the time server for the DHCP static host.
Next Server —
Specifies the IP address of the next server in the boot process of a DHCP client.
Next Server Name —
Specifies the name of the next server in the boot process. The server name may
contain up to 64 characters.
File Name —
Specifies the name of the file that is used as a boot image. The file name may contain
up to 128 characters.
