19. The addition or edit of the network pool’s advanced settings requires the following General

parameters be set:

20. Set the following NetBIOS parameters for the network pool:

Boot File

Enter the name of the boot file used with this pool. Boot files (Boot Protocol) can be used
to boot remote systems over the network. BOOTP messages are encapsulated inside UDP
messages so requests and replies can be forwarded. Each pool can use a different file as
needed.

BOOTP Next Server

Provide the numerical IP address of the server providing BOOTP resources. Select Alias to
use a network alias with the BOOTP Next Server configuration. For more information see
Alias on page 7-520.

Enable Unicast

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

NetBIOS Node Type

Set the NetBIOS Node Type used with this pool. The following types are available:
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 - Is a mixed node using broadcast queries to find a node, and failing that,
queries a known p-node name server for the address.

Hybrid - Is a combination of two or more nodes.

Undefined - No NetBIOS Node Type is used.

NetBIOS Servers

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