NET.CFG Options Reference

Protocol TCPIP Option

You can set up client workstations to use either an Ethernet connection with a SLIP/PPP serial link or a network gateway machine with two network boards.

Protocol TCPIP supports one network board and LAN driver per client workstation.

BIND odi_driver [number frame_type network_name]

Binds the TCP/IP protocol stack to a LAN driver. When TCP/IP is bound to a LAN driver, the network board or COMn device for that LAN driver is the board or device used for transmissions to and from the network.

This parameter is needed only if you are running more than one ODI LAN driver to support TCP/IP.

Syntax

bind odi_driver [number frame_type network_name]

 

Replace odi_driver with a token-ring or Ethernet

 

ODI LAN driver name, or with the SLIP_PPP

 

driver name.

 

Replace number with the instance of the LAN

 

driver number.

 

Use of this number binds TCP/IP to a particular

 

occurrence of a network board when you have

 

two boards with the same name.

 

This number reflects the load sequence number

 

of the network board (not the same as the logical

 

board number displayed by the LAN driver

 

when it is loaded).

 

Using board number 0 instructs TCP/IP to bind

 

to the first board it finds that supports both TCP/

 

IP and the specified frame type.
