Installing TCP/IP
Overview
This chapter explains how to configure TCP/IP for Novell NetWare and
Microsoft Windows NT 3.51 and above.
☛
Note
The information presented in this chapter is a basic
explanation of TCP/IP installation procedures. While
the TCP/IP protocols are highly standardized, vendor
specific characterizations and enhancements may
exist. Refer to the documentation which came with
your operating system for detailed information.
The connection between the GAM Client and the GAM Server is based on
the TCP/IP protocol. For TCP/IP to function properly, the protocol stack
must be installed and unique IP addresses must be configured on both the
GAM Server and the GAM Client.
The IP address format in Global Array Manager follows the standard
12-digit format of decimal numbers separated by dots, e.g, 111.222.121.212.
The leading zeroes in an address are not shown.
Orderly administration of proper IP addresses assures correct packet routing.
Duplicate network addresses are not allowed.
The IP addresses should conform to RFC 1597 if the network will not be part
of the Internet. Otherwise, registered Internet addresses may be obtained
from the Internet Network Information Systems Center in Herndon, Virginia,
USA (hostmaster@internic.net).
