Configuring an Address Pool for the DHCP Server 579Configuring WINSServers and NetBIOSNode Type for the ClientA Microsoft DHCP client using NetBIOS protocol contacts a Windows InternetNaming Service (WINS) server for name resolution. Therefore, the DHCP servershould 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 toapproach name resolution. There are four NetBIOS node types:■ b (broadcast)-node: The b-node client sends the destination name in abroadcast message. The destination returns its IP address to the client afterreceiving the message.■ p (peer-to-peer)-node: The p-node client sends the destination name in aunicast message to the WINS server, and the WINS server returns thedestination 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, thenunicasts the destination name to the WINS server to get the destination IPaddress.■ h (hybrid)-node: A combination of peer-to-peer first and broadcast second. Theh-node client unicasts the destination name to the WINS server, if no response,then broadcasts it to get the destination IP address.To configure WINS servers and NetBIOS node type in the DHCP address pool, usethe following commands:n If b-node is specified for the client, you need to specify no WINS server address.Configuring the BIMSserver Information forthe ClientA DHCP client performs regular software update and backup using configurationfiles 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.Enter DHCP address pool view dhcp server ip-poolpool-name-Specify DNS servers for theclientdns-list ip-address&<1-8> RequiredNot specified by defaultTo do...
