Optional) Configuring Netbios For Global Address Pool - Huawei S9300 Configuration Manual

S9300&S9300E Terabit Routing Switch
Configuration Guide - IP Service
Perform the following steps on the DHCP server.
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2 Run:
ip pool ip-pool-name
The IP address pool view is displayed.
Step 3 Run:
domain-name domain-name
The DNS domain name to be allocated to the DHCP client is configured.
On the DHCP server, you can specify a DNS domain name for each address pool. If the DNS
domain name is configured, the DNS server used by the DHCP client is also specified.
Step 4 Run:
dns-list ip-address &<1-8>
The IP address of the DNS server is configured for the DHCP client.
To load balance the traffic and improve the reliability of the network, configure multiple DNS
servers. Each address pool can be configured with a maximum of eight DNS servers.

3.3.5 (Optional) Configuring NetBIOS for Global Address Pool

DHCP clients running on the Microsoft Windows operating system use the Network Basic Input
Output System (NetBIOS) protocol for communication. The NetBIOS server translates host
names to IP addresses for the clients.
Context
Perform the following steps on the DHCP server.
When a DHCP client uses the NetBIOS protocol for communication, the host name must be
mapped to an IP address. Based on the modes of obtaining mapping, NetBIOS nodes are
classified into the following types:
l
l

NOTE
NetBIOS: Network Basic Input Output System.
b-node: indicates a node in broadcast mode. This node obtains the mappings in broadcast
mode.
p-node: indicates a node in peer-to-peer mode. This node obtains the mappings by
communicating with the NetBIOS server.
m-node: indicates a node in mixed mode, that is, the p-type node with some broadcast
features.
