2.5.6 Configuring WINS Servers and NetBIOS Node Type 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:
z
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.
z
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.
z
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.
z
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:
