Configuring NBNS Relay
Each NetBIOS PC has a name unique for its local network. If you are using NetBIOS broadcast
queries to resolve names and NetBIOS clients are located in different groups or VLANs , you
should configure UDP relay for NBNS .
The relays are enabled from the UDP Relay Configuration screen and are configured in simi-
lar ways. The UDP Relay Configuration screen is displayed using the
relayc command
described in UDP Relay Configuration Screen on page 26-3. To enable the NBNS relay, enter
2=y . (To enable the NBDD relay, enter see Configuring NBDD Relay on page 26-16.)
The UDP Relay Configuration screen redisplays similar to the following:
UDP Relay Configuration
1) BOOTP/DHCP Enabled : Yes
11) Server Address{list/add/delete} : UNSET
12) Forward Delay : 3
13) Maximum Hops : 4
2) NBNS Enabled : Yes
21) Next-hop Address {list/add/delete} : UNSET
22) Forward to VLANs {list/add/delete} : UNSET
3) NBDD Enabled :No
4) +Generic Services Menu
Command {Item=Value/?/Help/Quit/Redraw/Save} (Redraw) :
Either a Next-hop Address or a Forward to VLANs value must be configured for the relay.
Next-hop Address
Use this parameter to list, add, or delete the server address(es) to which the NBNS UDP relay
will forward. The default is UNSET. The value redisplays as SET when at least one address is
configured. Up to 8 addresses may be configured. You can list, add, or delete addresses by
entering
21=l , 21=a , or 21=d on the command line.
Forward to VLANs
Use this parameter to list, add, or delete VLANs to which the NBNS UDP relay will forward.
This default is UNSET . This value redisplays as SET when at least one VLAN is configured. Up
to 32 VLANs may be configured. You can list forwarding VLANs , or add or delete VLANs from
the forwarding list by entering 22=l , 22=a , or 22=d on the command line. Entries marked with
an asterisk indicate the VLANs to which the relay will forward.
