Context
NOTE
NetBIOS is short for the Network Basic Input/Output System.
Before a DHCP client communicates with hosts by using NetBIOS, the mapping between the
host names and IP addresses of the client and host needs to be established. The DHCP client can
be specified as one of the following NetBIOS nodes based on mappings between host names
and IP addresses:
l
B-node: b indicates broadcast. B-nodes obtain mappings between host names and IP
addresses in broadcast mode.
l
P-node: p indicates peer-to-peer. P-nodes obtain mappings between host names and IP
addresses from the NetBIOS server.
l
M-node: m indicates mixed. M-nodes are the p-nodes that have some broadcast features.
l
H-node: h indicates hybrid. H-nodes are the b-nodes that provide the peer-to-peer
communication mechanism.
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:
nbns-list
ip-address
&<1-8>
The IP address of the NetBIOS server connected to the DHCP client is configured.
An address pool can be configured with a maximum of eight NetBIOS server addresses.
Step 4
Run:
netbios-type
{
b-node
|
h-node
|
m-node
|
p-node
}
A NetBIOS node type is specified for the DHCP client.
By default, the client is not specified to be any NetBIOS node type.

6.3.7 (Optional) Configuring User-Defined DHCP Options of the
Global Address Pool
As DHCP develops, new DHCP options continue to be created. They can be manually added to
the attribute list of the DHCP server.
Context
If the Option attribute has been configured on the DHCP server and a DHCP client applies for
an IP address, the client can obtain the configurations in the Option field of the DHCPREPLY
packet from the server.
