Parameter 
b-node: Specifies the broadcast type. Nodes of this type acquire host name-to-IP 
address mapping by broadcasting. 
p-node: Specifies the peer-to-peer type. Nodes of this type acquire host name-to-IP 
address mapping by communicating with the NetBIOS server. 
m-node: Specifies the m-typed mixed type. Nodes of this type are p-nodes with some 
broadcasting features. (The character m here stands for mixed.) 
h-node: Specifies the hybrid type. Nodes of this type are b-nodes with peer-to-peer 
communicating features. 
interface  interface-type interface-number [ to  interface-type interface-number ]: 
Specifies the interface(s), through which you can specify the corresponding interface 
address pools. 
all: Specifies all interface address pools. 
Description 
Use the dhcp server netbios-type command to configure the NetBIOS node type of 
the DHCP clients whose IP addresses are from the specified interface address pool(s). 
Use the undo dhcp server netbios-type command to restore the default NetBIOS 
node type. 
By default, no NetBIOS node type is specified and the default NetBIOS node type is 
h-node. 
Related command: netbios-type and dhcp server nbns-list. 
Example 
# Enter system view. 
<Quidway> system-view 
System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z. 
# Specify p-node as the NetBIOS node type of the DHCP clients whose IP addresses
