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.
You need to specify in a DHCP address pool a NetBIOS node type for the client to approach name
resolution. There are four NetBIOS node types:
• b (broadcast)-node: The 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: The 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: A combination of broadcast first and peer-to-peer second. The m-node client
broadcasts the destination name. If no response is received, it unicasts the destination name to the
WINS server to get the destination IP address.
• h (hybrid)-node: A combination of peer-to-peer first and broadcast second. The h-node client
unicasts the destination name to the WINS server. If no response is received, it broadcasts it to get
the destination IP address.
Follow these steps to configure WINS servers and NetBIOS node type in the DHCP address pool:

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 needs to offer
these DHCP clients the BIMS server IP address, port number, shared key from the DHCP address pool.
Follow these steps to configure the BIMS server IP address, port number, and shared key in the DHCP
address pool:
