Specifying WINS servers and NetBIOS node type for DHCP clients

About WINS servers and NetBIOS node type for DHCP clients

A Microsoft DHCP client using NetBIOS protocol must contact a WINS server for name resolution.

In addition, you must specify one of the following NetBIOS node types to approach name resolution:

Procedure

  1. Enter system view.

    system-view

  2. Enter DHCP address pool view.

    dhcp server ip-pool pool-name

    By default, no DHCP address pool exists.

  3. Specify WINS servers.

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

    By default, no WINS server is specified.

    This step is optional for b-node. You can specify a maximum of eight WINS servers for such clients in one DHCP address pool.

  4. Specify the NetBIOS node type.

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

    By default, no NetBIOS node type is specified.
