Table-DHCP There are entries with DHCP information in the DHCP table . It contains 16 entries (or
multiples of 16). The table adapts dynamically to the given requirements and grows or
shrinks accordingly. It has the following layout:
Status/TCP-IP-statistics/NetBIOS
Additional information about the NetBIOS module can be found in the /Status/TCP-IP-
statistics/NetBIOS-statistics menu. This menu has the following structure:
B-Nodes Broadcast nodes. A B node performs name negotiations exclusively via broadcasts. Such
a computer is not visible over a router connection, since broadcasts may not be routed.
P-Nodes Point-to-point nodes. For name negotiations, a P node requires a NetBIOS nameserver
(NBNS) as well as a NetBIOS datagram distribution server (NBDD) to transfer datagrams
over a router.
M-Nodes Mixed nodes. This type is a mixture of B and P nodes. It acts as a B node in the local
network; if the required partner can't be found in the local network, it attempts to locate
it using an NBNS query (P node behavior).
W-Nodes This type of node is not permissible according to RFC, but was introduced nevertheless
by Microsoft as a hybrid node.

type
LAN-Rx, WAN-Rx Number of NetBIOS packets received by the LAN or WAN
LAN-Tx, WAN-Tx Number of NetBIOS packets sent to the LAN or WAN
Registers Number of name registrations performed
Conflicts Number of detected name conflicts. As the NetBIOS module is only a
billboard to which each computer attaches its name, it also does not
verify the consistency of the data. The counter is thus only incremented
if a host determines a conflict and broadcasts a message to the network
to this effect.
Releases Number of name shares performed
Refreshs Number of name renewals performed
Timeouts Number of names dropped due to aging
B-Nodes Number of currently active B nodes (broadcast) in the network
P-Nodes Number of currently active P nodes (peer-to-peer) in the network
M-Nodes Number of currently active M nodes (mixed-mode) in the network
W-Nodes Number of currently active W nodes (hybrid) in the network
