Using NET.CFG Options and Parameters

Using NET.CFG Options and Parameters

NetWare and Personal NetWare™ workstations support the following conﬁguration options in the NET.CFG ﬁle:

•Desktop SNMP Option

•Link Driver Option

•Link Support Option

•NetWare DOS Requester Option

•Protocol IPX Option

•Protocol SPX Option

•Protocol TCPIP Option

•Transport Provider IPX UDP Option

NOTE:Because many products use the NET.CFG file for managing configuration information, this might not be a comprehensive list of all the options used in your NET.CFG file.

See the third-party manufacturer’s product documentation or the most current README file provided with this NetWare Client for DOS and MS Windows kit for information.

Table 2-1 shows the various parameters and values that you can use. Notice the following markings in ﬁgure text:

*The default value is the maximum value for NetWare 2 and NetWare 3™ networks.

+This option is valid for NetWare 4™ networks only.

~Defaults vary depending on your network setup. See the corresponding option heading in this chapter for speciﬁc information.
