

Broadcast only. This setting is useful where there are no WINS servers available, however, it is preferred you

try Mixed-Mode

operation first.



Point-to-Point Mode. This setting indicates to use WINS servers ONLY. This setting is useful to force all

NetBIOS operation to the configured WINS servers. You must have configured at least the primary WINS server
IP to point to a working WINS server.



Mixed-Mode (default). First broadcast operation is performed to register hosts and discover other hosts, if

broadcast operation fails, WINS servers are tried, if any. This mode favors broadcast operation which may be
preferred if WINS servers are reachable by a slow network link and the majority of network services such as
servers and printers are local to the LAN.



Hybrid-State. First WINS servers are tried, if any, followed by local network broadcast. This is generally the

preferred mode if you have configured WINS servers.

Primary WINS IP Address.

Configure the IP address of the preferred WINS server. WINS Servers store information

is activated.

Secondary WINS IP Address.

Configure the IP address of the backup WINS server, if any. This setting has no effect if

the Learn NetBIOS information from WAN

is activated.

Number of Dynamic DHCP Clients.

This section displays what devices are currently leasing IP
addresses. The DHCP Client table displays the number of

computer name, MAC address, and IP address assigned to

option to take away a leased IP address from a client. This feature

is useful for freeing up addresses when the client table is full or nearly full.

4.3.3

Add DHCP Reservation

Clients configured as DHCP can receive the same IP address
all the time using this feature. This is almost the same as if a
device has a static IP address except that it must still actually
