Add or verify the LOAD commands for the LAN drivers
for all slot-frame instances.
c
In each Load Balancing/RSL group, load the same protocols
and frame types on the primary and all secondary NICs.
d
On the primary NIC only, bind a protocol to each
slot-frame instance.
e
Remove any BIND commands from each secondary NIC.
f
For each Load Balancing/RSL group, add an EL985LB BIND
command to bind the primary and all secondary NICs
together. Place this command after the LAN driver
LOAD commands or the SYS:ETC\INITSYS.NCF command.
There can be only one EL985LB BIND command per
group, and it must list the primary and all secondary
NICs. (See
Load Balancing/RSL Commands
for the
EL985LB BIND command syntax.)
5 Save the AUTOEXEC.NCF file and return to the
server prompt.
The sample AUTOEXEC.NCF file in
Figure 12
shows a
group of two NICs. The primary NIC in slot 1 is bound to
a secondary NIC in slot 2.
