DHCP Server Configuration
2-18
On the DHCP server, 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 while the DHCP server assigns IP addresses to the DHCP clients.

2.3.6 Configuring DHCP Servers to Assign WINS Server Addresses
For Microsoft Windows-based DHCP clients that communicate through NetBIOS
protocol, the host name-to-IP address translation is carried out by WINS servers. So
you need to perform WINS-related configuration for most Windows-based hosts.
Currently, you can configure up to eight WINS addresses for a DHCP address pool.
Host name-to-IP address mappings are needed for DHCP clients communicating
through the NetBIOS protocol. According to the way to establish the mapping, NetBIOS
nodes fall into the following four categories:
z B-node. Nodes of this type establish their mappings through broadcasting (The
character b stands for the word broadcast). The source node obtains the IP
address of the destination node by sending the broadcast packet containing the
