Installing Source Routing on the Server

1Use the lanscan command to identify the Physical Point of Attachment (PPA) of the interface you wish to enable for Token Ring Source Routing.

# lanscan
Hardware Station		Crd Hardware Net-Interface					NM	MAC	HP DLPI Mjr
Path	Address	In# State			NameUnit State		ID	Type	Support Num
8/20/5/1 0x08000995DEDD			0	UP	lan0	UP	4	ETHER	Yes	52
8/20/5/8 0x555555555555			1	UP	lan1	UP	5	802.5	Yes	102

In this example, the field labeled NM ID gives the PPA, which is 5, for the

Token Ring interface card at Hardware Path, 8/20/5/8, and which has Station

Address, 0x555555555555.

2Use the command

/opt/netware4/bin/nwcm -V nwnet grep ppa=5

to associate the PPA (in this case 5, from step 1) with the appropriate instance of the configuration parameter.

Each hardware interface has a set of configuration parameters identified with the prefix lan_ and a number between 1 and 15 to describe information such as external address number, frame type, PPA and the status of token ring source routing.

In this example, the output from this command gives: lan_2_ppa=5

Therefore, the prefix of lan_2 is combined with trsr_on to create the configuration parameter lan_2_trsr_on to describe the status of TRSR for this network, on or off.

3To TEST that TRSR is turned off for this interface use:

# /opt/netware4/bin/nwcm -t lan_2_trsr_on=on

and you should get the output:

lan_2_trsr_on=off

4To enable TRSR for this network use the command:

# /opt/netware4/bin/nwcm -s lan_2_trsr_on=on

and you should get the output:
