Configuring the Compatibility Mode

Enabling the Migration Agent

Changing the CMD Network Number

4
Turn off IPX networking at the routers when all the IPX applications have
been migrated and all the NetWare servers and clients have been
upgraded/installed using the IP and IPX option.
5
Modify the configuration of the NetWare servers and clients to be IP only
servers and clients.
Compatibility Mode can be loaded in two different modes. When you enter the
command, SCMD.NLM, the product is loaded in Compatibility Mode Server
mode. To enable the Migration Agent (MA) use the /MA option.
By default, loading SCMD.NLM makes a server a simple Compatibility Mode
server. To force it to act as a Migration Agent, enter the following command:
Load Scmd.Nlm /ma
The Compatibility Mode will act as a Migration Agent which can
communicate and exchange details about connected Internetwork Packet
Exchange (IPX) service information with similar Migration Agents. This
facilitates connecting disconnected IPX segments across an IP backbone.
This option can be used when the SCMD.NLM is running either in the
Compatibility Mode Server or Migration Agent mode.
By default, the CMD IPX network number is set to FFFFFFFD. This can
either be changed through the Monitor screen or using the SET command line
parameter.
Set Cmd Network Number=XXXXXXX
The SCMD module must be loaded before changing the value. Subsequently,
unload and reload the module for the change to take effect permanently.
Optionally, the CMD network number can be changed dynamically while
loading the module. To do this, at the console prompt type:
Load Scmd /Net=XXXXXXX
IMPORTANT:
In NetWare 4.11 this option changes the network number
temporarily. Once you unload and reload without specifying the /Net option, it will
reset to the original network number.
