6Novell NetWare Driver Setup
Installing Advanced Server Features
1Load BASP.LAN just like a standard LAN driver with the same frame types loaded for the NIC in the team. BASP.LAN requires a special VSLOT parameter to specify the virtual slot. The virtual slot can be viewed as a team number.
Example:
LOAD BASP.LAN FRAME=ETHERNET_II NAME=BASP_1_EII VSLOT=1
2After BASP.LAN is successfully loaded, a new screen appears. This screen displays
all virtual NIC settings and statistics. Press Alt + Esc to switch back to the console and continue with step 3.
3Load the network drivers for the NIC that will be part of the team. The frame types loaded should be the same for all NICs in the team. Do not bind protocols directly to these NICs.
Example:
LOAD B57.LAN FRAME=ETHERNET_II NAME=B57_1_EII SLOT=1 LOAD B57.LAN FRAME=ETHERNET_II NAME=B57_2_EII SLOT=3
4Bind BASP.LAN to the NIC in the team by using a custom BASP BIND command at the console.
Example:
BASP BIND BASP_1_EII B57_1_EII BASP BIND BASP_1_EII B57_2_EII
Note that if there are multiple frame types loaded on the virtual and the physical NICs, it is necessary to bind only one frame type on the virtual NIC to the same frame type on the physical NIC. The other frame types will be bound automatically.
5Bind protocols to BASP.LAN. Example:
BIND IP BASP_1_EII ADDR=x.x.x.x MASK=x.x.x.x
NOTE: Configuration of BASP.LAN should be performed manually by editing the AUTOEXEC.NCF file. NWCONFIG.NLM (or INSTALL.NLM) cannot completely configure BASP.LAN.
