Sample AUTOEXEC.NCF File Parameters

This section describes the AUTOEXEC.NCF file parameters SLOT, FRAME, NODE, and Medium.

SLOT Parameter

The SLOT parameter specifies which adapter is enabled when multiple BayStack 21 PCI Network Cards are installed in your workstation. The SLOT keyword is an index value corresponding to PCI BIOS. The mapping from the SLOT parameter to the physical PCI slot is different from one workstation to another.

The following are examples of typical SLOT parameters:

LOAD C:B21LAN10 SLOT=3 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2

LOAD C:B21LAN10 SLOT=4 FRAME=ETHERNET_II

FRAME Parameter

The FRAME parameter specifies which type of frame is used by the BayStack 21 network driver.

Accepted values include:

Ethernet_802.3

Ethernet_802.2

Ethernet_II

Ethernet_SNAP

Multiple frame types can be enabled by loading the same driver with different FRAME type parameters.

The following are examples of typical SLOT parameters:

LOAD C:B21LAN10 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2

LOAD C:B21LAN10 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3

LOAD C:B21LAN10 FRAME=ETHERNET_II

LOAD C:B21LAN10 FRAME=ETHERNET_SNAP
