Network Adapter Card Installation Guide - Book II
Type the following command to bind the LAN driver to IPX in order
to attach to the server.
BIND IPX TO <DRIVER> NET=n
Where <DRIVER> is the filename of the driver and n is the node
address Novell uses for routing IPX packets. This number is arbitrary
if there is the only one server on the network, but if there are
multiple servers on the same network, it must match the other
servers' external network number.
Note
The default frame type for Novell file servers is now Ethernet_802.2.
If you require Ethernet_802.3, specify FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3 on
the command line when loading the driver.
To load multiple frame types for a single card, enter a LOAD and
BIND statement for each frame type. You need to supply a name on
each load line in order to avoid being prompted for which board to
bind IPX to. If you do not have the name option in the
AUTOEXEC.NCF, it will not execute completely without user
intervention.
Example:
LOAD <DRIVER> FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3 NAME=IEE8023
BIND IPX TO IEE8023 NET=11111
LOAD <DRIVER> FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 NAME=IEE8022
BIND IPX TO LAN8022 NET=22222
<DRIVER> is the filename of the adapter driver.
If you have a PCI-1 bus in your system, add BUSTYPE=PCI1 to the
command line (e.g., LOAD C:\SERVER\A2500v3 BUSTYPE=PCI1).
Otherwise the driver may not find the card. If you don't know which
bus you have, try loading without the option. If it loads, you don't
need it.
Add the load and bind statements you require to the server's
AUTOEXEC.NCF file so that the LAN driver will load automatically
each time the server starts up. Here's an example of how the
commands would look in your AUTOEXEC.NCF file.
("NCF Files Options - Create / Edit Server Startup
Files")
LOAD A2500v3 FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 (overrides
default frame type)
BIND IPX to A2500v3 net=1 (all servers on the LAN
segment need the same #)
2.
Proceed with the installation as outlined by Novell.
