Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

This command applies to DHCP servers. Before hosts communicate with each other, a NetBIOS server needs to resolve the accessedNetBIOS hostname to an IP address. To enable hosts to communicate with each other, run the nbns-list command to configure NetBIOS server addresses. When assigning IP addresses to clients, a DHCP server also assigns the configured NetBIOS server addresses to clients. To configure NetBIOS server addresses for an interface address pool, run the dhcp server nbns-list command.

Precautions

In the IP address pool view and DHCP Option template view, a device can be configured with a maximum of eight NetBIOS server addresses respectively. The first assigned address functions as the primary address, and the other seven addresses function as secondary addresses.

Example

# In the IP address pool view, set the IP address of the NetBIOS server to 192.168.1.1.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] ip pool global1
[HUAWEI-ip-pool-global1] nbns-list 192.168.1.1

# In the DHCP Option template view, set the IP address of the NetBIOS server to 10.1.1.1.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] dhcp option template template1
[HUAWEI-dhcp-option-template-template1] nbns-list 10.1.1.1
