• NetBIOS WINS Server - Specifies the NetBIOS WINS name server available to a Microsoft DHCP static host. • NetBIOS Node Type - Informs the workstation how to resolve the NetBIOS name. Valid node types are: - Blank - The workstation is not informed as to which type of NetBIOS node the client is. - 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. If the next server in the boot process is not configured, the DHCP Server uses inbound interface helper addresses as boot servers. • Next Server Name - Specifies the name of the next server in the boot process. The server name may contain up to 64 characters. • Image File Name - Specifies the name of the file that is used as a boot image. The file name may contain up to 128 characters.
