Use to
Select and configure boards. To configure a
board, you select a driver, assign a name to the
board, and specify values for the board
parameters.
Each driver that is compatible with NetWare
has a driver description file, sometimes called
the LDI file. The LDI file defines the parameters
necessary for the driver to operate with the
board you select. It also specifies the valid
range of values for each parameter.
If a driver has an LDI file, the parameters are
presented in the Board Configuration window;
you simply select a value for each parameter.
If a driver has no LDI file, you must enter the
values yourself in the Board Parameters field.
Applies only to wide area network (WAN)
configurations for multiple interface WAN
boards. (NetWare does not support WANs.)
Applies only to WAN configurations. (NetWare
does not support WANs.)
Select and configure network protocols. To
configure a protocol, you select the protocol,
such as IPX or IP, and configure the protocol-
specific parameters that pertain to routing,
packet forwarding, etc.
Bind a network protocol to an interface.
Configure protocol and interface-specific
parameters, such as frame type, network
number (for IPX), local IP address (for IP),
and zone information (for AppleTalk).
Delete a bound interface from the
configuration.
Specify Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) information, such as the SNMP device
name, hardware description, physical location,
and human contact for the server or router.
