Specify DNS servers for the
client
A Microsoft DHCP client using NetBIOS protocol contacts a Windows Internet
Naming Service (WINS) server for name resolution. Therefore, the DHCP 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.
Follow these steps to configure WINS servers and NetBIOS node type in the DHCP
address pool:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter DHCP address pool view dhcp server ip-pool
Specify WINS server IP
addresses for the client
Specify the NetBIOS node type netbios-type { b-node |
If b-node is specified for the client, you need to specify no WINS server address.
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.
Configuring an Address Pool for the DHCP Server
Use the command...
pool-name
dns-list ip-address&<1-8>
Use the command...
system-view
pool-name
nbns-list ip-address&<1-8>
h-node | m-node | p-node }
