9. Define the following General parameters to complete the creation of the static binding

configuration:

10. Define the following NetBIOS parameters to complete the creation of the static binding

configuration:

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

addresses enabling the 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.

12. Refer 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.

a. 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. Select the radio
button of an existing option and select the - Delete button to remove it from the list of
those available.

b. Assign a Value to each option with codes from 1 - 254. A vendor-specific option definition

only applies to the vendor class for which it is defined.

13. Within the Network section, define one or group of DNS Servers to translate domain names to

IP addresses. Up to 8 IP addresses can be provided.

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

the screen back to its last saved configuration.

IP Address

Set the IP address of the client using this host pool for DHCP resources.

Domain Name

Provide a domain name of the current interface. Domain names aren’t case sensitive and can contain
alphabetic or numeric letters or a hyphen. A fully qualified domain name (FQDN) consists of a host name
plus a domain name. For example, computername.domain.com.

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 DHCP network pool can use a different file as needed.

BOOTP Next Server

Provide the numerical IP address of the server providing BOOTP resources.

Client Name

Provide the name of the client requesting DHCP Server support.

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 this network pool.
This settings is disabled by default.

NetBIOS Node Type

Set the NetBios Node Type used with this particular pool. The following options 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 - A mixed node using broadcasted 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 requesting
clients. A maximum of 8 server IP addresses can be assigned.
