CHECKSUM=ON
This enables BASP.LAN to offload TCP/UDP and IP checksums to the bound NIC if
supported. This will improve performance if some or all NIC in the team support hardware
checksums.
Example:
A team of two BCM5700 NICs with hardware checksums enabled.
LOAD BASP.LAN FRAME=ETHERNET_II NAME=B57_1_EII CHECKSUM=ON
VSLOT=1
LOAD B57.LAN FRAME=ETHERNET_II NAME=B57_1_EII CHECKSUM=ON SLOT=1
LOAD B57.LAN FRAME=ETHERNET_II NAME=B57_2_EII CHECKSUM=ON SLOT=2
BASP BIND BASP_1_EII B57_1_EII
BASP BIND BASP_1_EII B57_2_EII
NOSCREEN
Disables the menu-driven screen when BASP.LAN is loaded for the first time.
Example:
LOAD BASP.LAN FRAME=ETHERNET_II NAME=BASP_1_EII VSLOT=1 NOSCREEN
GVRP
This enables GVRP (Garp VLAN Registration Protocol) for the VLAN that is loaded. An
untagged 802.2 frame type must be loaded in the virtual NIC and all bound physical NICs
for GVRP to take effect. This is necessary because GVRP uses untagged 802.2 frames to
advertise VLAN memberships. Use VLAN=0 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 in the LOAD
command to specify untagged 802.2 frame type.
Example:
LOAD BASP.LAN FRAME=ETHERNET_II NAME=BASP_1_V2_EII VSLOT=1 VLAN=2
GVRP
LOAD BASP.LAN FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 NAME=BASP_1_V2_EII VSLOT=1
VLAN=0
Editing the AUTOEXEC.NCF File
When a NIC configuration is saved, the NetWare install program adds load and bind
statements to the autoexec.ncf file. By accessing this file, you can verify the parameters
configured for each NIC, add or delete parameters, or modify parameters.
Autoexec.ncf File Examples
A valid autoexec.ncf file is shown below. It includes one set of load and bind commands
for each VLAN the NIC is configured to support. One load command (in bold) is entered
for each NIC you want to add to a failover team.
Example 1:
set Time Zone = PST8PDT
set Daylight Savings Time Offset = 1:00:00
set Start Of Daylight Savings Time = (APRIL SUNDAY FIRST 2:00:00
AM)
set End Of Daylight Savings Time = (OCTOBER SUNDAY LAST 2:00:00
AM)
set Default Time Server Type = SINGLE
