How to Configure WINS

Before You Begin

Note:

The wins_server_1 and wins_server_2 properties are not needed if NetBIOS is disabled. See Disabling and Re-enabling NetBIOS.

Become an administrator.

For more information, see Using Your Assigned Administrative Rights in Securing Users and Processes in Oracle Solaris 11.4.
Specify the IP address of the primary WINS server.
The primary WINS server is the server consulted first for NetBIOS name resolution.
```
$ sharectl set -p wins_server_1=IP-address smb
```
(Optional) Specify the IP address of the secondary WINS server.
If the primary WINS server does not respond, the system consults the secondary WINS server to perform NetBIOS name resolution.
```
$ sharectl set -p wins_server_2=IP-address smb
```
