Usage Guideline
This command configures the NetBIOS node’s type; the recommended type is h-
node (Hybrid). It determines what methods NetBios will use to register and
resolve names.
•
b-node
- The broadcast system uses broadcasts.
•
p-node
- A p-node system uses only point-to-point name queries to a
name server (WINS).
•
m-node
- An m-node system broadcasts first, and then queries the name
server.
•
Hybrid
- A hybrid system queries the name server first, and then broad-
casts.
Resolution through LMHOSTS and/or Domain Name Service (DNS), if enabled,
will follow these methods.
Example
The following is sample of configuring the Netbios node type as h-node.
Syntax Description
