Configuring Bims Server Information For The Dhcp Client - H3C S5600 SERIES Operation Manual

B-node. Nodes of this type establish their mappings through broadcasting (The character b stands
for the word broadcast). The source node obtains the IP address of the destination node by
sending the broadcast packet containing the host name of the destination node. After receiving the
broadcast packet, the destination node returns its IP address to the source node.
P-node. Nodes of this type establish their mappings by communicating with WINS servers (The
character p stands for peer-to-peer). The source node sends the unicast packet to the WINS
server. After receiving the unicast packet, the WINS server returns the IP address corresponding
to the destination node name to the source node.
M-node. Nodes of this type are p-nodes mixed with broadcasting features (The character m stands
for the word mixed), that is to say, this type of nodes obtain mappings by sending broadcast
packets first. If they fail to obtain mappings, they send unicast packets to the WINS server to obtain
mappings.
H-node. Nodes of this type are b-nodes mixed with peer-to-peer features (The character h stands
for the word hybrid), that is to say, this type of nodes obtain mappings by sending unicast packets
to WINS servers first. If they fail to obtain mappings, they send broadcast packets to obtain
mappings.
Follow these steps to configure WINS servers for the DHCP client:

If b-node is specified for the client, you don't need to specify any WINS server address.

Configuring BIMS Server Information for the DHCP Client

A DHCP client performs regular software update and backup using configuration files obtained from a
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.
