Using NetBIOS WINS for Address Resolution
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.
1. Specify the NetBIOS WINS name servers, in order of preference, that are available to Microsoft Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) clients.
DHCP <POOL> mode
netbios-name-server address
2. Specify the NetBIOS node type for a Microsoft DHCP client. Dell EMC Networking recommends specifying clients as hybrid.
DHCP <POOL> mode
netbios-node-type type
Creating Manual Binding Entries
An address binding is a mapping between the IP address and the media access control (MAC) address of a client.
The DHCP server assigns the client an available IP address automatically, and then creates an 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 a 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.
NOTE:
Dell EMC Networking OS 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.
