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 a 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 N/A
3.
Specify WINS servers.
nbns-list ip-address&<1-8>
This step is optional for b-node.
By default, no WINS server is
specified.
4.
Specify the NetBIOS node
type.
netbios-type { b-node | h-node |
m-node | p-node }
By default, no NetBIOS node type is
specified.
Specifying BIMS server for DHCP clients
Perform this task to provide the BIMS server IP address, port number, and shared key for the clients. The
DHCP clients contact the BIMS server to get configuration files and perform software upgrade and
backup.
To configure the BIMS server IP address, port number, and shared key 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 N/A
3.
Specify the BIMS server IP
address, port number, and
shared key.
bims-server ip ip-address [ port
port-number ] sharekey { cipher |
simple } key
By default, no BIMS server
information is specified.
Specifying the configuration file for DHCP client
auto-configuration
Auto-configuration enables a device to obtain a set of configuration settings automatically from servers
when the device starts up without a configuration file. It requires the cooperation of the DHCP server,
HTTP server, DNS server, and TFTP server. For more information about auto-configuration, see
Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
