12. Define the following NetBIOS parameters required to complete the creation of the static

binding configuration:

13. Refer to the Static Routes Installed on Clients field to set Destination IP and Gateway

addresses enabling assignment of static IP addresses without creating numerous host pools
with manual bindings. This eliminates the need for a long configuration file and reduces the
space required in NVRAM to maintain address pools. Select the + Add Row button to add
individual destinations. Select the Delete icon to remove it from the list of those available.

14. Scroll down to the DHCP Option Values table to set Global DHCP options. A set of global DHCP

options applies to all clients, whereas a set of subnet options applies only to the clients on a
specified subnet. If you configure the same option in more than one set of options, the
precedence of the option type decides which the DHCP server supports a client.

15. Select the + Add Row button to add individual options. Assign each a Global DHCP Option

Name to help differentiate it from others with similar configurations. At any time you can select
the radio button of an existing option and select the - Delete button to remove it from the list of
those available.

Assign a Value to each option with codes in the range of 1 through 254. A vendor specific option
definition only applies to the vendor class for which it is defined.

16. Within the Network field, define one or group of DNS Servers to translate domain names to IP

addresses. Up to 8 IP addresses can be provided and translated. Select Alias to use a network
alias with the DNS server configuration. For more information see Alias on page 7-520.

Within the Network field, define one or more Default Routers to resolve routes to other parts of the
network. Up to 8 IP addresses can be provided for Default Routers. Select Alias to use a network
alias with the default routers configuration. For more information see Alias on page 7-520.

17. Select OK when completed to update the static bindings configuration. Select Reset to revert

to the last saved configuration.

18. Select the Advanced tab to define additional NetBIOS and Dynamic DNS parameters.

Enable Unicast

Unicast packets are sent from one location to another location (there is just one sender,
and one receiver). Select this option to forward unicast messages to just a single device
within this network pool. This setting is disabled by default.

NetBIOS Node Type

Set the NetBIOS Node Type used with this particular pool. The node can have one of the
following types:

Broadcast - Uses broadcasting to query nodes on the network for the owner of a
NetBIOS name.

Peer-to-Peer - Uses directed calls to communicate with a known NetBIOS name
server (such as a WINS server), for the IP address of a NetBIOS machine.

Mixed - A mixed node using broadcast queries to find a node, and failing that,
queries a known p-node name server for the address.

Hybrid - A combination of two or more nodes.

Undefined - No node type is applied.

NetBIOS Servers

Specify a numerical IP address of a single or group of NetBIOS WINS servers available to
DHCP supported wireless clients. A maximum of 8 server IP addresses can be assigned.
Select Alias to use a network alias with the NetBIOS server configuration. For more
information see Alias on page 7-520.
