R0106-HP MSR Router Series Layer 3 - IP Services Configuration Guide(V7)

• 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:
Ste
p
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 information for the client
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:
Ste
p
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 TFTP server and boot file name for the client
To implement client auto-configuration, you must specify the IP address or name of a TFTP server and the
boot file name for the clients. There is no need to perform any configuration on the DHCP clients.
A DHCP client obtains these parameters from the DHCP server, and uses them to contact the TFTP server
to get the configuration file used for system initialization. Auto-configuration operates as follows:
1. When a router starts up without loading any configuration file, it sets an active interface (such as
the interface of the default VLAN or a Layer 3 Ethernet interface) as the DHCP client to get
configuration parameters from the DHCP server. The parameters include the IP address or name of
a TFTP server, and the boot file name.
2. After getting the parameters, the DHCP client sends a TFTP request to obtain the configuration file
from the specified TFTP server for system initialization. If the client cannot get such parameters, it
performs system initialization without loading any configuration file.
