Configuring Novell NetWare Source Routing (Token Ring Card Only)

You can select the method for Novell NetWare source routing from the control panel. The possible routing methods are:

AUTO (default): Source routing will be enabled on a packet- by-packet basis.

OFF: All packets are sent without source routing—that is, packets must be from the same ring.

SINGLE R: Source routing used for all packets sent. The Single Route method is used for broadcasts and when the route is unknown.

ALL RT: Source routing used for all packets sent. The All Routes method is used for broadcasts and when the route is unknown.

You can configure the NetWare source routing only if NetWare is enabled and you have installed a token ring network interface.
