Address Resolution using NetBIOS WINS
Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) is a name resolution service that Microsoft DHCP clients use
to correlate host names to IP addresses within a group of networks. Microsoft DHCP clients can be one of
four types of NetBIOS nodes: broadcast, peer-to-peer, mixed, or hybrid.
Create Manual Binding Entries
An address binding is a mapping between the IP address and Media Access Control (MAC) address of a
client. The DHCP server assign the client an available IP address automatically, and then creates a entry in
the binding table. However, the administrator can manually create an entry for a client; manual bindings
are useful when you want to guarantee that particular network device receives a particular IP address.
Manual bindings can be considered single-host address pools. There is no limit on the number of manual
bindings, but you can only configure one manual binding per host.
To create a manual binding:
Step Task Command Syntax Command Mode
1 Specify the NetBIOS Windows Internet Naming
Service (WINS) name servers, in order of preference,
that are available to Microsoft Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) clients.
netbios-name-server
address
DHCP <POOL>
2 Specify the NetBIOS node type for a Microsoft
DHCP client. Dell Force10 recommends specifying
clients as hybrid.
netbios-node-type type DHCP <POOL>
Note: FTOS does not prevent you from using a network IP as a host IP; be sure to not use a network IP
as a host IP.
Step Task Command Syntax Command Mode
1 Create an address pool pool name DHCP
2
Specify the client IP address.
host address DHCP <POOL>
