4-22 CHAPTER 4: NETWARE SERVER DRIVER INSTALLATION
Check ability
to connect
over ATM link
To verify that the server is communicating over the ATM link,
perform the following procedure:
1 Set up a NetWare client on an ELAN supported by the server
to be tested.
2 Log in or map to the server.
If you cannot log in or map to the server, the ATM link is not
functional.
Editing the AUTOEXEC.NCF File
The experienced NetWare and ATM user can load network
drivers, configure LECs, and set resilient server links by editing
the AUTOEXEC.NCF file.
CAUTION: If you are using an editor other than the NCF files
option editor accessed from the Installations Options menu
of the NetWare install utility, be sure that it can save files in
pure ASCII text format.
The four keywords required to configure an LEC are cardnum,
channel, elan, and linktype. To make a NIC a standby NIC, use the
linktype, channel, home, and cardnum keywords. In the 3Com
implementation of LAN emulation, each NetWare channel can
be an LEC that uses ILMI by default to find the LECS. The LEC
may also be configured to contact another LECS or LES directly.
Definitions and usage of keywords are listed in Table 4-2.
The sample AUTOEXEC.NCF file shown in Figure 4-13 represents
the following scenario:
■ All 3Com-supplied NLMs are loaded before the network
drivers are loaded.
■ There are two 3Com ATMLink NICs installed in the system,
Card 1 and Card 2.
■ Card 1 is configured with two LECs.
■ Card 2 is configured as a standby NIC of Card 1.
