Using DNS for Address Resolution

A domain is a group of networks. DHCP clients query DNS IP servers when they need to correlate host names
to IP addresses.
1 Create a domain.
DHCP <POOL>Mode
domain-name name
2 Specify in order of preference the DNS servers that are available to a DHCP client.
DHCP <POOL>Mode
dns-server address

Using NetBIOS WINS for Address Resolution

Windows internet naming service (WINS) is a name resolution service that Microsoft DHCP clients use to
correlate host names to IP addresses within a group of networks. Microsoft DHCP clients can be one of four
types of NetBIOS nodes: broadcast, peer-to-peer, mixed, or hybrid.
1 Specify the NetBIOS WINS name servers, in order of preference, that are available to Microsoft Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) clients.
DHCP <POOL> mode
netbios-name-server address
2 Specify the NetBIOS node type for a Microsoft DHCP client. Dell Networking recommends specifying
clients as hybrid.
DHCP <POOL> mode
netbios-node-type type

Creating Manual Binding Entries

An address binding is a mapping between the IP address and the media access control (MAC) address of a
client.
The DHCP server assigns the client an available IP address automatically, and then creates an entry in the
binding table. However, the administrator can manually create an entry for a client; manual bindings are
useful when you want to guarantee that a particular network device receives a particular IP address. Manual
bindings can be considered single-host address pools. There is no limit on the number of manual bindings,
but you can only configure one manual binding per host.
NOTE: The system does not prevent you from using a network IP as a host IP; be sure to not use a
network IP as a host IP.
