Installing the NetWare Server Driver 55
Installing Multiple NICs
To support more than one NIC in a NetWare server, change
the AUTOEXEC.NCF file to the following format:
load C:\NWSERVER\3C90X.LAN slot=<slot1>
NAME=<name1> FRAME=<frametype1>
bind ipx to <name1> net=<net1>
load C:\NWSERVER\3C90X.LAN slot=<slot2>
NAME=<name2> FRAME=<frametype2>
bind ipx to <name2> net=<net2>
The values <slot1> and <slot2> are the numbers of
the PCI slots in which the NICs are physically installed.
To view the numbers of these PCI slots, use the
3Com Configuration and Diagnostic program for DOS.
See the next section, “Verifying the PCI Slot Number,”
for instructions.
The values <name1> and <name2> are unique names
assigned to each NIC by your system administrator. The
values <name1> and <name 2> must be different.
The frame parameters <frametype1> and <frametype2>
can be one of the following:
■ Ethernet_802.2
■ Ethernet_802.3
■ Ethernet_II
■ Ethernet_SNAP
Make sure that the frametype for the server and the
workstation is the same. For example, if the server
uses Ethernet_802.2, the workstation must also use
Ethernet_802.2.
The values <net1> and <net2> are unique numbers
assigned by the system administrator to each NIC. Make
sure that <net1> and <net2> are different numbers.
See the appropriate Novell NetWare manuals for
further information.
