NetBIOS Packet Propagation
On an IPX network, NetBIOS obtains information by broadcast- ing type 20 packets to all networks. In order to fully support NetBIOS over IPX, the NETServer must be configured to for- ward type 20 broadcast packets across an IPX network. The following command is used:
set netbios <on off>
The default is off, which disables NetBIOS packet propagation.
PAP Authentication
This allows you to disable PAP authentication in order to force routing connections to use the more secure CHAP protocol. The default is on, which enables PAP authentication.
set pap <on off>
Proxy ARP
Proxy ARP can be useful when an ARP request is received on one interface, but the NETServer knows that the requested address is actually reached through another interface. Since the requested address is not actually on the subnet from which the ARP originated, there is no way that the desired machine can respond.
When proxy ARP is enabled, the NETServer will reply to such a request with its own MAC address. Packets headed for the requested system will then be sent to the NETServer, which in turn forwards them to the appropriate address.
set proxy <on off>
System Name
This is the NETServer’s system name, 15 characters maximum. Required for
set sysname <name>
