Configuring IP Utilities
8-4 117358-A Rev. A
Routers that support NetBIOS must analyze each name query request received on
a NetBIOS interface to determine whether the name of the requested resource
(typically, a server) is in the cache. If so, the router replaces the broadcast address
in the request with the unicast IP address of the server. The router then forwards
the name query request to the server.
Enabling Name Caching on the Router
NetBIOS name caching gives the router the ability to cache the name associated
with each NetBIOS server that is active on the network.
By default, NetBIOS name caching is disabled. You can use Site Manager to
enable name caching.
The 15-character NetBIOS name-caching parameter gives the router the ability to
treat a NetBIOS name as either a 15- or a 16-character entity.
By default, NetBIOS treats a name as a 16-character entity. You can use Site
Manager to enable the feature if you want NetBIOS to treat a name as a
15-character entity.
