change the default values:
a.
Click on the Expert Options tab. A screen similar to the following will be displayed:
b. Select the Packet Encapsulation type. This specifies the encapsulation type for IPX datagrams
transferred on this interface. NetWare supports 4 types of encapsulation: Novell SNAP,
Novell Ethernet 802.3, Novell Ethernet II, Novell Ethernet 802.2. The Ethernet 802.3 type is
the default type for NetWare v2.x and v3.x. The Ethernet 802.2 type is the default type for
NetWare v4.x. Choose the appropriate encapsulation type for this network segment.
c.
Enter the MTU value. This specifies the maximum number of bytes that can be transmitted
on the network interface. Some devices on the network may not be able to receive large
data packets. This parameter allows you to maintain compatibility with these devices by
setting the MTU to agree with that supported by the device.
d. Complete the RIP/SAP Configuration.
•
Select the Send Control. This specifies how RIP/SAP information will be sent on this
network interface. When set to Send, the system will transmit IPX RIP/SAP packets on
this network interface. When set to Do Not Send, the system will not transmit any IPX
RIP/SAP packets on this network interface.
•
Enter the Send Frequency Value. This specifies the frequency at which the system will
transmit RIP/SAP packets when the Send Control parameter is set to Send for this
interface. This parameter is a decimal value specified in seconds from 1 to 300. The
default value is 60 seconds.
