Adding a NetBIOS Alias
Some installations use multiple NetBIOS names for a single CIFS server. To mimic
this configuration, use the
wins-alias command (in gbl-gs-vs mode) for each
additional NetBIOS name:
wins-alias netbios-alias
where netbios-alias (1-15 bytes) is a NetBIOS alias to be advertised to the WINS
server. The first character must be a letter, and the remaining characters can be
letters, numbers, or underscores (_). The same character/byte limitations apply to
this name as the NetBIOS name itself (see above).
For example, this command sequence adds a NetBIOS alias to the “192.168.25.12”
server:
bstnA6k(gbl)# global server fs.nt.org
bstnA6k(gbl-gs[fs.nt.org])# virtual server bstnA6k 192.168.25.12 255.255.255.0 vlan 25
bstnA6k(gbl-gs-vs[fs.nt.org~192.168.25.12])# wins-alias HR_DISK
bstnA6k(gbl-gs-vs[fs.nt.org~192.168.25.12])# ...
Removing NetBIOS Aliases
To remove one NetBIOS alias (or all of them) from the virtual server, use no
wins-alias
:
no wins-alias [netbios-name]
where netbios-name (optional, 1-15 characters) identifies the alias to remove. If
you do not specify a particular NetBIOS alias, this command removes all of
them.
The CLI prompts for confirmation if you choose to remove all aliases. Enter yes to
continue.
For example, this command sequence removes all NetBIOS aliases from the virtual
server at 192.168.25.15:
bstnA6k(gbl)# global server ac1.medarch.org
bstnA6k(gbl-gs[ac1.medarch.org])# virtual server bstnA6k 192.168.25.15 255.255.255.0 vlan
25
bstnA6k(gbl-gs-vs[ac1.medarch.org~192.168.25.15])# no wins-alias
Delete all NETBIOS aliases for this Virtual Server? [yes/no] yes
bstnA6k(gbl-gs-vs[ac1.medarch.org~192.168.25.15])# ...
