Installing PeerMaster LAN Software
Novell NetWare Servers poll idle workstations every 15 minutes.
Thus, an aging duration of 30 minutes (N=1800) would safely
prevent unlearned traffic due to idle workstations. In very large
networks, however, a duration of this length might result in the
overflow of the forwarding data base.
Adjusting Transmit and Receive Resources
Various transmit and receive control blocks and buffers exist to
support the PeerMaster adapter to the host bus-master interface.
The number of transmit and receive packets that the interface can
handle are controlled by the number of these resources. Increase
the number of these resources only if you have determined that
packets are being lost due to lack of resources.
The TXCOUNT keyword allows you to customize the number of
transmit control blocks used to line up packets to the adapter, as
follows:
:LOAD D:\[PATH]MXMCA4BT.LAN SLOT=11 TXCOUNT=nnn
:LOAD D:\[PATH]MXMCA4BT.LAN SLOT=12
:LOAD D:\[PATH]MXMCA4BT.LAN SLOT=13
:LOAD D:\[PATH]MXMCA4BT.LAN SLOT=14
:LOAD D:\[PATH]MXMCA4BT.LAN SLOT=21 TXCOUNT=nnn
:LOAD D:\[PATH]MXMCA4BT.LAN SLOT=22
:LOAD D:\[PATH]MXMCA4BT.LAN SLOT=23
:LOAD D:\[PATH]MXMCA4BT.LAN SLOT=24
:LOAD D:\[PATH]VNET.LAN TXCOUNT=nnn
(where D: is the drive and PATH is the directory.)
The parameter nnn is a 3-digit decimal number that specifies the
number of control blocks. The first port that is loaded on a
PeerMaster adapter sets the TXCOUNT of resources for that
adapter. The TXCOUNT keyword for subsequent loads of the same
adapter is ignored by the driver. The keyword must be specified on
the load command lines for MXMCA4BT.LAN and VNET.LAN.
The value of TXCOUNT for VNET.LAN should equal the sum of all
adapters included in the VNET. For instance, the value of
TXCOUNT for VNET.LAN in the above example is 40 if the values
for slots 11 and 21 were each specified as 20.
