How to Customize Your Mobile Client
This section describes the optional parameters you can add to the
Mobile IPX
section of a mobile client's NET.CFG file. The parameters enable you to
customize your NetWare Mobile IPX configuration.
An example of how these parameters are used is provided in
.
Customizing Home Router Parameters
The following parameters enable you to customize the interaction between a
mobile client and its Home Router:
Preferred HR=
Home_Router_Name
This command causes IPXODI to attempt to attach to the specified Home
Router (HR). If the router does not exist or is not specified, the Home
Router closest to the client is used.
This command enables some level of routing optimization to be achieved.
Specifying a Home Router that is the user's preferred server, or specifying
one in an inline routing path between the mobile client and most of its
logged-in servers, causes packets sent back to the client to take a more
direct path because all packets being sent to the client go through the
Home Router first.
HR Time To Live=
x
(where
x
= 5 to 10,080 minutes)
