frame type. The PeerMaster adapter comes configured with four
unique Ethernet MAC addresses. Thus, you do not need to use the
NODE keyword to create unique addresses for each port. You can,
however, override the factory-provided MAC address using the
NODE keyword.
Each time the load command is issued, Novell NetWare creates a
unique instance of the LAN device driver. You can use the NAME
keyword to bind a unique name to each instance of the device
driver. You can use this unique name with each device driver when
binding a specific instance of the device driver network protocol.
The following example illustrates use of the NAME keyword:
:LOAD C:\PATH\MXPCI4BT.LAN SLOT=21 NAME=SLOT21
:LOAD C:\PATH\MXPCI4BT.LAN SLOT=22 NAME=SLOT22
:LOAD C:\PATH\MXPCI4BT.LAN SLOT=23 NAME=SLOT23
:LOAD C:\PATH\MXPCI4BT.LAN SLOT=24 NAME=SLOT24
(where C: is the primary drive and PATH is the directory)
These commands cause Novell NetWare to load one instance of the
LAN device driver for each port of the PeerMaster adapter that is
configured as slot number 2. The NAME keyword associates each
device driver instance with a unique name (such as slot21, slot22,
and so forth).
In the traditional adapter mode, you must bind each device driver
instance to a network protocol using a unique network number.
The unique device driver names established using the NAME
keyword bind each device driver instance to a protocol. The
following example illustrates the bind process:
:BIND IPX SLOT21 NET=21
:BIND IPX SLOT22 NET=22
:BIND IPX SLOT23 NET=23
:BIND IPX SLOT24 NET=24
When you issue the load command, the NAME keyword is optional.
Alternatively, you can specify the actual device driver name
(MXPCI4BT.LAN) in the bind command. The bind command
presents you with the list of device driver instances to choose from
if a specific instance is not specified. Unique device driver names
