R26 Description of the menu options
Table-DHCP There are entries with DHCP information in the DHCP table. It contains 16 entries (or
multiples of 16). The table adapts dynamically to the given requirements and grows or
shrinks accordingly. It has the following layout:
IP-address
IP address assigned via
DHCP
Status/TCP-IP-statistics/NetBIOS
Additional information about the NetBIOS module can be found in the /Status/TCP-IP-
statistics/NetBIOS-statistics menu. This menu has the following structure:
LAN-Rx, WAN-Rx
LAN-Tx, WAN-Tx
Registers
Conflicts
Releases
Refreshs
Timeouts
B-Nodes
P-Nodes
M-Nodes
W-Nodes
B-Nodes Broadcast nodes. A B node performs name negotiations exclusively via broadcasts. Such
a computer is not visible over a router connection, since broadcasts may not be routed.
P-Nodes
Point-to-point nodes. For name negotiations, a P node requires a NetBIOS nameserver
(NBNS) as well as a NetBIOS datagram distribution server (NBDD) to transfer datagrams
over a router.
M-Nodes Mixed nodes. This type is a mixture of B and P nodes. It acts as a B node in the local
network; if the required partner can't be found in the local network, it attempts to locate
it using an NBNS query (P node behavior).
W-Nodes This type of node is not permissible according to RFC, but was introduced nevertheless
by Microsoft as a hybrid node.

Associated Duration of assignment
MAC address validity in minutes
Number of NetBIOS packets received by the LAN or WAN
Number of NetBIOS packets sent to the LAN or WAN
Number of name registrations performed
Number of detected name conflicts. As the NetBIOS module is only a
billboard to which each computer attaches its name, it also does not
verify the consistency of the data. The counter is thus only incremented
if a host determines a conflict and broadcasts a message to the network
to this effect.
Number of name shares performed
Number of name renewals performed
Number of names dropped due to aging
Number of currently active B nodes (broadcast) in the network
Number of currently active P nodes (peer-to-peer) in the network
Number of currently active M nodes (mixed-mode) in the network
Number of currently active W nodes (hybrid) in the network
