Dell EMC SmartFabric OS10 User Guide Release 10.5.2

You have two choices for hostname resolution — domain name server (DNS) or NetBIOS Windows internet naming service (WINS). Both DHCP and WINS clients query IP servers to compare hostnames to IP addresses.

1. Enable DHCP server-assigned dynamic addresses on an interface in CONFIGURATION mode.

   ip dhcp server

2. Create an IP address pool and enter the name in DHCP mode.

   pool name

3. Create a domain and enter the domain name in DHCP <POOL> mode.

   domain-name name

4. Enter the DNS servers in order of preference that is available to a DHCP client in DHCP <POOL> mode.

   dns-server address

DNS address resolution

OS10(config)# ip dhcp server
OS10(conf-dhcp)# pool Dell
OS10(conf-dhcp-Dell)# domain-name dell.com
OS10(conf-dhcp-Dell)# dns-server 192.168.1.1

NetBIOS WINS address resolution

DHCP clients can be one of four types of NetBIOS nodes — broadcast, peer-to-peer, mixed, or hybrid. Dell Technologies recommends using hybrid as the NetBIOS node type.

1. Enable DHCP server-assigned dynamic addresses on an interface in CONFIGURATION mode.

   ip dhcp server

2. Create an IP address pool and enter the pool name in DHCP mode.

   pool name

3. Enter the NetBIOS WINS name servers in the order of preference that they are available to DHCP clients in DHCP <POOL> mode.

   netbios-name-server ip-address

4. Enter the keyword Hybrid as the NetBIOS node type in DHCP <POOL> mode.

   netbios-node-type type

Configure NetBIOS WINS address resolution

OS10(config)# ip dhcp server
OS10(conf-dhcp)# pool Dell
OS10(conf-dhcp-Dell)# netbios-name-server 192.168.10.5
OS10(conf-dhcp-Dell)# netbios-node-type Hybrid
