Installing PeerMaster LAN Software
Generic Statistics
When operating in VNET switch mode, PeerMaster adapters switch
receive packets, as needed, to other LAN segments. This creates
transmit and receive statistics that alter the traditional meaning of
various generic statistic counters. The following generic counters
have a unique interpretation in VNET switch mode operation.
Total Packets Sent: The total number of packet transmissions
requested by the host open data-link interface (ODI) device
driver.
Total Packets Received: The total number of packets received
by the host ODI device driver.
Total Send OK Byte Count (Low or High): The total number of
bytes sent by the host ODI device driver.
Total Receive OK Byte Count (Low or High): The total number
of bytes received by the host ODI device driver.
All Ethernet-Specific Statistical Counters: This includes all
Ethernet-specific statistics, such as collisions, transmit status,
and receive status. These counters contain the sum of all
transmit and receive statistics resulting from both the host ODI
device driver and VNET switch activities. Thus, it is possible to
observe a value of zero for “Total Packets Sent” at the same
time as a nonzero value for a transmit statistic, such as “Send
OK Single Collision Count.” This combination of statistics
indicates that no packets were transmitted through the host
device driver, and that a nonzero number of VNET switch
packets for the specified port experienced single collisions.
Sample AUTOEXEC.NCF Files
You must add the following command line to your
AUTOEXEC.NCF file for Novell NetWare Version 3.11:
:LOAD C:\PATH\LSLENH
(where C: is the primary drive and PATH is the directory)
The following AUTOEXEC.NCF files provide information for servers
that have one, two, or three PeerMaster adapters installed.
