Parameter Description Pool Name Denotes the name of the DHCP pool for which you are currently adjusting the parameters. IP Address Enter the IP address to be assigned to requesting DHCP Clients.

If this entry is given the IP address 10.10.10.2, then assigned addresses to DHCP Clients will resemble 10.10.10.x, where x is a number between 1 and 255 but does not include the assigned 10.10.10.2) Netmask Enter the corresponding Netmask of the IP address assigned above. Domain Name Enter the domain name for the DHCP client. This domain name represents a general group of networks that collectively make up the domain. The Domain Name may be an alphanumeric string of up to 64 characters. DNS Server Address Enter the IP address of a DNS server that is available to the DHCP client. The DNS Server correlates IP addresses to host names when queried. Users may add up to three DNS Server addresses.

This Net BIOS Name Server is actually a WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) Server that allows Microsoft DHCP clients to correlate host names to IP addresses within a general grouping of networks. The user may establish up to three Net BIOS Name Servers. NetBIOS Node Type This field will allow users to set the type of node server for the previously configured Net BIOS Name server. Using the pull-down menu, the user has four node type choices: Broadcast, Peer to Peer, Mixed, and Hybrid. 235
