Configuring an Address Pool for the DHCP Server 727
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, then
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,
then broadcasts it to get the destination IP address.
To configure WINS servers and NetBIOS node type in the DHCP address pool, use
the following commands:
n
If b-node is specified for the client, you need to specify no WINS server address.
Configuring the BIMS
server Information for
the Client
A DHCP client performs regular software update and backup using configuration
files obtained from a branch intelligent management system (BIMS) server.
Therefore, the DHCP server needs to offer DHCP clients the BIMS server IP address,
port number, shared key from the DHCP address pool.
To configure the BIMS server IP address, port number, and shared key in the DHCP
address pool, use the following commands:
