Configuring WINS servers and NetBIOS node type for the
client

A Microsoft DHCP client using NetBIOS protocol contacts a Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS)
server for name resolution. Therefore, the DHCP server should assign a WINS server address when

assigning an IP address to the client.
You can specify up to eight WINS servers in a DHCP address pool.
In addition, you must specify a NetBIOS node type for the clients to approach name resolution. There are
four NetBIOS node types:

b (broadcast)-node—A b-node client sends the destination name in a broadcast message. The
destination returns its IP address to the client after receiving the message.

p (peer-to-peer)-node—A p-node client sends the destination name in a unicast message to the
WINS server and the WINS server returns the destination IP address.

m (mixed)-node—An m-node client broadcasts the destination name. If it receives no response, it
unicasts the destination name to the WINS server to get the destination IP address.

h (hybrid)-node—An h-node client unicasts the destination name to the WINS server. If it receives
no response, it broadcasts the destination name to get the destination IP address.

To configure WINS servers and NetBIOS node type in the DHCP address pool:

Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2.

Enter DHCP address pool
view.

dhcp server ip-pool pool-name
[ extended ]

N/A

3.

Specify WINS server IP
addresses for the client.

nbns-list ip-address&<1-8>

Optional for b-node.
No address is specified by default.

4.

Specify the NetBIOS node

type.

netbios-type { b-node | h-node |
m-node | p-node }

Not specified by default.

NOTE:

If b-node is specified for the client, you do not need to specify any WINS server address.

Configuring BIMS server information for the client

Some DHCP clients perform regular software update and backup by using configuration files obtained
from a branch intelligent management system (BIMS) server. Therefore, the DHCP server must provides

these DHCP clients with the BIMS server IP address, port number, and shared key from the DHCP address

pool.
To configure the BIMS server IP address, port number, and shared key in the DHCP address pool:

Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

N/A

2.

Enter DHCP address pool
view.
