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.
