IP Setup   7-21
When requesting an address, a client will often suggest an address to be assigned, such as the one it was 
last ser ved. The Router will attempt to honor this request if the address is available. The client stores this 
address in non-volatile storage, for example, on disk, and the specific storage method/location differs 
depending on the client operating system.
When requesting an address, a client may provide a client identifier, or, if it does not, the Motorola 
Netopia® Embedded Software Version 8.7.4 may construct a pseudo-client identifier for the client. When 
the client subsequently requests an address, the Router will attempt to ser ve the address previously 
associated with the pseudo-client identifier. This is normally the last address ser ved to the client.
Other wise, the Motorola Netopia
®
 will select the least-recently used available address, star ting from the 
first address in the first pool and ending with the last address in the last pool.
Note:
The address ser ving pools on this screen are tied to the IP subnets configured on the IP Subnets 
screen. Changes to the IP Subnets screen may affect this screen. In par ticular, deleting a subnet on the IP 
Subnets screen will delete the corresponding address ser ving pool, if any, on this screen.
DHCP NetBIOS Options
If your network uses NetBIOS, you can enable the Router to use DHCP to distribute NetBIOS information.
NetBIOS stands for Network Basic Input/Output System. It is a layer of software originally developed by IBM 
and Sytek to link a network operating system with specific hardware. NetBIOS has been adopted as an industr y 
standard. It offers LAN applications a variety of “hooks” to carr y out inter-application communications and data 
transfer. Essentially, NetBIOS is a way for application programs to talk to the network. To run an application that 
works with NetBIOS, a non-IBM network operating system or network inter face card must offer a NetBIOS 
emulator. Many vendors either provide a version of NetBIOS to inter face with their hardware or emulate its 
transpor t layer communications ser vices in their network products. A NetBIOS emulator is a program provided 
by NetWare clients that allow workstations to run applications that suppor t IBM’s NetBIOS calls.
Select DHCP NetBIOS Options and press Return. The DHCP NetBIOS Options screen appears.
