NET.CFG Options Reference

Link Driver Option

For example, node addresses for both modes could appear as follows:

•node address 0800005A656BL (canonical LSB)

•node address 1000005AA6D6M (non-canonical MSB)

If the “M” or “L” is not specified, the default mode for the node address is the physical layer form of the address.

Syntax	node address hex_address [mode]
Default	None
Example	To change the node address of an NTR2000 LAN driver to
	“1000005aa6d6” for non-canonical mode, you would
	place the following lines in your NET.CFG file:
	link driver ntr2000
	node address 1000005aa6d6m

Even though FDDI is a non-canonical topology at the physical layer, all address are sent and received in canonical (LSB) mode.

A node labeled with an “M” for non-canonical mode address supports media setup for canonical mode, because the LAN driver simply swaps the provided address to obtain the appropriate canonical (LSB) address.

LANSUP

This parameter allows the LANSUP.COM file set to the frame size for a token-ring driver.

Syntax	open
Default	None
Example	To allow the RPL protocol to increase the frame size
	for a remote boot workstation running the LANSUP
	software above 1 KB, you would place the following
	lines in your NET.CFG file:
	link driver lansup
	open
