Parameter 
b-node: Specifies b-node to be the NetBIOS node type. DHCP clients of this node type 
establish host name-to-IP address mapping by broadcasting. (b stands for broadcast.) 
p-node: Specifies p-node to be the NetBIOS node type. DHCP clients of this node type 
establish host name-to-IP address mapping by communicating with NetBIOS server. (p 
stands for peer-to-peer.) 
m-node: Specifies m-node to be the NetBIOS node type. DHCP clients of this node 
type are p nodes which take some broadcast features. (m stands for mixed.) 
h-node: Specifies h-node to be the NetBIOS node type. DHCP clients of this node type 
are b nodes which take peer-to-peer mechanism. (h stands for hybrid.) 
Description 
Use the dhcp server netbios-type command to configure the NetBIOS node type for 
DHCP clients of DHCP address pool of current or specified VLAN interface. 
Use the undo dhcp server netbios-type command to remove the NetBIOS node type 
configured for DHCP clients of DHCP address pool of current or specified VLAN 
interface. 
The default DHCP client NetBIOS node type is h-node. 
Related command: netbios-type, dhcp server nbns-list. 
Example
