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.
