Installing PeerMaster LAN Software
Create four traditional networks
:BIND IPX SLOT21 NET=21
:BIND IPX SLOT22 NET=22
:BIND IPX SLOT23 NET=23
:BIND IPX SLOT24 NET=24
Create an eight-segment VNET consisting of adapters 1 and 3. Use
the i1 and i3 keywords to include adapters 1 and 3 into the VNET.
:LOAD C:VNET.LAN i1 i3
:BIND IPX VNET NET=2
(where C: is the primary drive)
In the preceding example, the PeerMaster adapters in slots 1 and 3
create an 8-segment VNET and are configured as network number 2.
The PeerMaster adapter in slot 2 is loaded in the traditional manner,
and the four ports are each bound to the protocol with a different
network number. The protocol is configured to operate as if a total
of five physical Ethernet segments exist. All ports controlled by
VNET.LAN share the network number configured on the
VNET.LAN bind command.
Three PeerMaster Adapters - Example 2: Adding the
following commands to your AUTOEXEC.NCF will cause your
PeerMaster adapter to form a combined network that is composed
of two 4-segment VNETs and four traditional single segment
networks. Cross-segment traffic within the two 4-segment VNETs is
switched by the two PeerMaster adapters. Cross-segment traffic
entering or leaving the VNET, or between one of the four traditional
network segments, is routed internally by the server.
The load command for VNET.LAN device drivers provides
keywords that configure the device driver to include specific
PeerMaster adapters into the VNET. You can load the VNET.LAN
device driver multiple times to create multiple VNETs. The
keywords to include a specific PeerMaster adapter into a VNET are
i1, i2, ... i8. The keyword i1 indicates a request to include the
