692 CHAPTER 57: DHCP CONFIGURATION
Configuring NetBIOS
Server Address for DHCP
Clients
For clients running a Windows operating system and communicating through the
NetBIOS protocol, translations between host name and IP address are carried out
by Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) servers. So you need to perform
configurations concerning WINS for these clients. At present, you can configure
up to eight NetBIOS server addresses for a DHCP address pool.
Configuring NetBIOS server address for a global DHCP address pool
Perform the following configuration in DHCP address pool view.
Configuring NetBIOS server address for current VLAN interface
Perform the following configuration in VLAN interface view.
Configuring NetBIOS server address for multiple VLAN interfaces
Perform the following configuration in system view.
By default, no NetBIOS server address is configured for global and VLAN interface
address pools.
If you execute the dhcp server nbns-list command multiple times, the newly
configured IP addresses overwrite the existing ones.
Configuring NetBIOS
Node Type for DHCP
Clients
For DHCP clients communicating in wide area network (WAN) by NetBIOS
protocol, the mapping between their host names and IP addresses must be
established. According to the ways they establish their mappings, NetBIOS nodes
fall into the following four types:
■ b-node: Nodes of this type establish their mappings by broadcasting. (b stands
for broadcast.)
Tabl e 636 Configure NetBIOS server address for a global DHCP address pool
Operation Command
Configure one or more NetBIOS server
addresses for a global DHCP address pool
nbns-list ip-address [ ip-address ]
Remove one or all NetBIOS server addresses
configured for a global DHCP address pool
undo nbns-list { ip-address | all }
Tabl e 637 Configure NetBIOS server address for current VLAN interface
Operation Command
Configure one or more NetBIOS server
addresses for the DHCP address pool of
current VLAN interface
dhcp server nbns-list ip-address [ ip-address
]
Remove one or all NetBIOS server addresses
configured for the DHCP address pool of the
current VLAN interface
undo dhcp server nbns-list { ip-address | all
}
Tabl e 638 Configure NetBIOS server address for multiple VLAN interfaces
Operation Command
Configure one or more NetBIOS server
addresses for the DHCP address pools of
multiple VLAN interfaces
dhcp server nbns-list ip-address [ ip-address
] { interface vlan-interface vlan-id [ to
vlan-interface vlan-id ] | all }
Remove one or all NetBIOS server addresses
configured for the DHCP address pools of
multiple VLAN interfaces
undo dhcp server nbns-list { ip-address | all
} { interface vlan-interface vlan-id [ to
vlan-interface vlan-id ] | all }
