netbios-name

To configure the IP address of a NetBIOS (Network Basic Input / Output System) and WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) name servers that are available to Microsoft DHCP clients for the corresponding DHCP server address pool, use the command netbios-name in DHCP Pool Configuration Mode. The no form of the command deletes the NetBIOS and WINS name servers IP address configuration for the DHCP server address pool. The NetBIOS WINS name server option configuration is deleted, if the no form of the network command is executed successfully.
