Services for NetWare
Services for NetWare (SFN) are compatible with Novell NetWare Bindery service for
authentication and file access using the internetwork packet exchange/sequenced packet
exchange (IPX/SPX) network protocol.
Configuring the NWLink IPX/SPX Compatible Protocol
To configure this protocol, you need the internal network number, the frame type, and the
network number.
Internal Network Number
Internal network numbers are used for internal routing and are generally only needed for
servers. You should not need to change this option on your system.
Frame Type and Network Number
Frame types define the packet formats that are used by different networks. It is important
that all systems in a network have the same frame type, so that they can communicate with
the rest of the network.
When you are configuring your system, it attempts to autodetect the frame type for the
client. In most cases, this is successful. However, occasionally the autodetect feature
chooses an inappropriate frame type, usually because more than one frame type exists on
the network. If this happens, you should manually set the frame type to match the one
specified on your NetWare server. Note that if more than one frame type exists, choose the
one that would be detected first. For example, if frame type Ethernet 802.2 and Ethernet
802.3 are bound to the same segment, then configure frame type Ethernet 802.2. The order
of detection is Ethernet 802.2, Ethernet 802.3, Ethernet II, and then Ethernet SNAP.
