NBNS is NetBios Nameserver. It can be set with the following command.

set nbns [1 | 2] <IP Address>

set nbns 192.168.10.1 # Sets primary NBNS
set nbns 2 192.168.10.2 # Sets secondary NBNS

After configuring this option you can view the configuration with 'show
global'
Specifying an IP address of 0.0.0.0 disables the setting.

NOTE: I have never seen anyone use this feature.
