Setting Up Network Connections 3-13
Operating in the Novell NetWare IPX Environment
If you’re using Novell NetWare server as your Network
Operating System, you can have up to 3 LAN adapters installed
in the File Server. With this type of setup, the network is
perceived as logically divided into different collision domains,
but the File Server is still accessible by all nodes. As shown in
the following figure, three LAN adapters installed in a NetWare
server are each connected to a hub in the stack with IPX
Protocol bound to each adapter.
The first adapter is attached to segment 1 with IPX network
number 102; the second adapter is attached to segment 2 with
IPX network number 103; and the third one is connected to
segment 3 with IPX network number 104.
