What can I do if I have problems upgrading my system code?
If you have any problems when you upload the system code, try
uploading the code in a DOS environment as opposed to a Windows
environment.

How can I get the Novell NetWare server’s internal network
number?
The easiest way to obtain the NetWare server’s internal network
number is to ask the system administrator. If this option is
unavailable, then you can attempt to find this value in the
following way:
- Connect a Router to the same LAN as the NetWare server
- In the Router, go to menu 24.8 (Command Interpreter mode)
- Check the internal SAP information by issuing the command, ‘ipx
sap status’
- You should be able to see the network number for the
corresponding server
5.
Should I use routing or bridging between two Routers?
The answer to this question depends on the situation and the type
of network in question. Generally, routing provides better
security, better prevention of unneeded traffic, and more
flexibility. However, bridging provides the advantage of
conserving IP address space. So if you have many stations, but
only limited addresses, it may be a better option to bridge.
6.
What do the ‘M m n’ mean in 21.1?
M: refers to ‘More’ filter rules. ‘Y’ means don't do any action
and check the next rule.
m: refers to ‘match’. Actions can be Forward, Drop, Next-rule.
n: refers to ‘not match’. Actions are the same as above.

7.
How can I set the country code for my Router?
The country code (displayed in menu 24.1) can be changed using a
CI command. First go to command mode (menu 24.8). The command
‘sys countrycode <code>’ will change the country code. <code>
refers to the country code in decimal. For instance, ‘sys
countrycode 255’ will set the Router to a North American country
code.
The country code will also be displayed using the debug command
‘atsh’. However, this value is for manufacturer use only, and so
only the default country code will be displayed here.
