Parameter
b-node: Broadcast mode, that is, hostname-IP maps are obtained by means of
broadcast.
p-node: Peer-to-peer mode, that is, maps are obtained by means of communicating
with the NetBIOS server.
m-node: Mixed (m) mode, that is, the mode of type b nodes running “peer-to-peer”
communications mechanism.
h-node: Hybrid (h) mode, that is, the mode of type p nodes possessing some of the
broadcast features.
interface-type interface-number [ to interface-type interface-number ]: Indicates an
interface or all interfaces from the first specified interface to the second. Note that the
interfaces must be Ethernet interfaces (or subinterfaces) or virtual Ethernet interfaces.
all: All interfaces.
Description
Use the dhcp server netbios-type interface command in system view to configure a
NetBIOS node type for the DHCP clients of the interfaces in a specified range.
Use the undo dhcp server netbios-type interface command in system view to
restore the default setting.
By default, clients adopt type h node (h-node).
Hostname-IP maps are required in the event that DHCP clients use the NetBIOS
protocol on a WAN.
After configuring this command, you cannot view the configuration by executing the
display current-configuration command. By calling dhcp server netbios-type
respectively on the specified interfaces, you can fulfill the batch configurations of the
command.
Related command: dhcp server ip-pool, netbios-type, dhcp server netbios-type,
and nbns-list.
Example
# In the DHCP address pool of interfaces in the range of Ethernet2/0/0.1 to
Ethernet2/0/0.5, set the NetBIOS node type of clients to p-node.
