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.

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
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
and you should get the output:
lan_2_trsr_on=off
4To enable TRSR for this network use the command:
# /opt/netware4/bin/nwcm
and you should get the output:
