Installing the Novell NetWare Server Driver 3-13
Multiple Adapters
To support more than one adapter in a server, edit the
AUTOEXEC.NCF file to the following format:
load C:\SERVER\3C90X.LAN PORT=<port1>
NAME=<name1> FRAME=<frametype>
load C:\SERVER\3C90X.LAN PORT=<port2>
NAME=<name2> FRAME=<frametype>
Port1 and port2 are the 3C905B-TX adapter’s PCI port
addresses, and name1 and name2 are user-specified names
assigned to distinguish the multiple adapters.
The FRAME parameter is optional. The default frame type
is Ethernet_802.2. If you want the ODI server driver to
support more than one frame type, then both the unique
NAME= and FRAME= parameters must be paired on each
load driver line. The valid frame types are Ethernet_802.2,
Ethernet_802.3, Ethernet_II, and Ethernet_SNAP.
The protocols must be bound to the specific driver
configuration using the user-assigned unique names.
The following example shows how this can be done:
load C:\SERVER\3C90X.LAN PORT=1000
FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=ADPONE
load C:\SERVER\3C90X.LAN PORT=2000
FRAME=Ethernet_II NAME=ADPTWO
bind IPX to ADPONE
bind IPX to ADPTWO
The examples used may require other parameters to work
properly. Consult the appropriate Novell NetWare manuals
for details.
