    The Directory Information Base (DIB) is used to store information about servers and services, users, printers, gateways, etc. It is a distributed database, allowing access to data anywhere on the network wherever it is stored. Pre-4.x NetWare versions provide the same data found in the DIB but the data is stored in the NetWare Bindery. The DIB was designed with more flexible access, more specific security, and, since it is distributed, it was designed to be partitioned.

    If the NIB does not see any Novell activity, it will use 802.2 on 802.3 as a frame type and will assign itself a network number of 0. The frame type and network number being used is reported on the status and configuration sheet. If a NIB is being moved from a site that had active Novell to a site that does not, the unit should be reset to factory default to clear the frame type and network number information.

  • Page 43: Introduction And Preparation

    5.2.1 Introduction and Preparation The Peer-to-Peer implementation uses the TCP/IP stacks that are provided with Windows 95/98 or Windows NT 4.0.

    7.5.1 Configuring the IP Address on the Network Interface Board The Network Interface Board must be given IP address and routing parameters. You can configure the IP address for the Network Interface Board in one of the following ways: Ÿ Use MAP, as described in Chapter 3.
  • Page 60 :gw = gateway address: For example, for an RFC 1048 system: printfast:\ :ht = ether:\ :ha = 0040AF03AF6E:\ :ip = 192.9.200.200:\ :sm = 255.0.0.0:\ :gw = 192.9.200.10:\ If running with a more recent BOOTP implementation, such as with SCO UNIX, add: :vm = rfc1048: Note: The :ht = ether command should always be used.
  • Page 61 2. Log in as superuser on the rarp server. However, if the server resides on another subnet, complete this procedure to store the IP address in the print server. Reconnect the print server anywhere on the network, and then use the Telnet or the HTML pages accessed by MAP or a Web Browser to adjust the IP parameters for the subnet on which the Network Interface Board is to operate.
  • Page 62 4. Edit the hosts file (usually /etc/hosts) or use NIS or DIS to add the IP address and [print server's node name. See the network administrator for the IP address. For example, a print server with a name of printfast and an IP address of 192.9.200.200 has the following entry: 192.9.200.200 printfast 5.
