Installing Advanced Server Features on Novell NetWare Server 4.2 and 5.1
Use the following procedure to install Advanced Server Features on Novell NetWare
Server 4.2 and 5.1:
1
Load BASP.LAN just like a standard LAN driver with the same frame types loaded for
the NIC in the team. BASP.LAN requires a special VSLOT parameter to specify the
virtual slot. The virtual slot can be viewed as a team number.
Example:
LOAD BASP.LAN FRAME=ETHERNET_II NAME=BASP_1_EII VSLOT=1
After BASP.LAN is successfully loaded, a new screen appears. This screen displays all
virtual NIC settings and statistics. Press
Alt
+
Esc
to switch back to the console and
continue with step 2.
2
Load the network drivers for the NIC that will be part of the team. The frame types
loaded should be the same for all NICs in the team. Do not bind protocols directly to
these NICs.
Example:
LOAD B57.LAN FRAME=ETHERNET_II NAME=B57_1_EII SLOT=1
LOAD B57.LAN FRAME=ETHERNET_II NAME=B57_2_EII SLOT=3
3
Bind BASP.LAN to the NIC in the team by using a custom BASP BIND command at the
console (or in autoexec.inf).
Example:
BASP BIND BASP_1_EII B57_1_EII
BASP BIND BASP_1_EII B57_2_EII
Note that if there are multiple frame types loaded on the virtual and the physical NICs,
it is necessary to bind only one frame type on the virtual NIC to the same frame type
on the physical NIC. The other frame types will be bound automatically.
4
Bind protocols to BASP.LAN.
Example:
BIND IP BASP_1_EII ADDR=x.x.x.x MASK=x.x.x.x
NOTE:
Configuration of BASP.LAN should be performed manually by editing the
AUTOEXEC.NCF file. NWCONFIG.NLM (or INSTALL.NLM) cannot completely
configure BASP.LAN.
