12-2 Netra Internet Server 3.1 User’s Manual—September 1996
12
• Network Protocol
The network protocol defines the communication that travels over the
network. The Netra server supports the following network protocols:
• TCP/IP: This protocol supports the definition of multiple interfaces for a
network hardware port and network protocol.
• SPX/IPX: This protocol is used for communicating with NetWare clients.
It does not support multiple interfaces per port.
Note – Both network protocols can be associated with the same port.
• Interface Definition
The interface definition is the configuration information that is specific to
the Netra server. For example, the Netra server requires host addresses for
TCP/IP interfaces, and network numbers and frame types for SPX/IPX
interfaces. (See “Installing the IPX Gateway on a Client System” on page 2-
2” for information about SPX/IPX network numbers and frame types.)
LAN Procedures
Note – You cannot administer the Netra server from a remote client without
defining the network interface.
▼ To Configure a Network Interface
1. Select Network Connection Administration: Local Area Network.
The Local Area Network Administration page is displayed with a list of
network interface hardware to configure.
2. Select either Add a TCP/IP Interface or Add an SPX/IPX Interface for the
required network interface.
