Setting Up Source Routing Support for a Token-Ring Network

Modifying the DOS System and NetWare Client Configuration Files

odi_lan_driver

route

ipxodi

vlm

Replace path with the directory where the ROUTE.COM and NET.CFG files are found. The ROUTE.COM file cannot execute unless it can access the NET.CFG file in the proper directory path.

Replace odi_lan_driver with the name of the ODI LAN driver that your workstation is using. For example, Novell provides the NTR2000.COM file or the LANSUP.COM file.

The command to load the ROUTE.COM file should be added after the

odi_lan_driver file, but before the protocol stack you are using, such as the IPXODI.COM file.

Add any necessary command line parameters after the route statement.

Use the following parameters for configuring the ROUTE.COM driver:

BOARD=number

CLEAR

DEF

GBR

MBR

NODES=number

REMOVE=number

NOTE:If two frame type are used on your network, load the ROUTE.COM file twice in the STARTNET.BAT file. You must load ROUTE.COM once for each BOARD=number statement used.

See Chapter 3, “Command Line Parameters Reference,” in NetWare Client for DOS and MS Windows Technical Reference for descriptions and details on how to use command line parameters for ROUTE.COM.
