Chapter 3 Connection and Communication Parameters
69
Each path through a NetBIOS protocol stack is assigned a LAN adapter
number. By default, the server looks through all possible numbers up to 255.
To speed up server startup, you can truncate the search for valid LAN
adapters at a specified value using the MAXLANA parameter.
255
♦ The following command line looks only at LAN adapters with numbers
less than 10 to identify active protocol stacks:
dbsrv7 -x netbios(MaxLANA=10) asademo
MyIP parameter
TCP/IP
The MyIP parameter is provided for machines with more than one network
adapter.
Each adapter has an IP address. By default, the database server uses the first
network card it finds. If you wish your database server to use more than one
network card, specify the address of each card in the MyIP parameter.
If the keyword NONE is supplied as the IP number, no attempt is made to
determine the addressing information. The NONE keyword is intended for
clients on machines where this operation is expensive, such as machines with
multiple network cards or remote access (RAS) software and a network card.
It is not intended for use on the server.
Under Windows 95/98 or Windows NT, this option can be used multiple
times for machines with multiple IP addresses.
You can optionally append a port number to the IP address, separated by a
colon.
♦ The following command line (entered all on one line) instructs the
server to use two network cards, one with a specified port number.
dbsrv7 -x
tcpip(MyIP=192.75.209.12:2367,192.75.209.32)
c:\asa7\asademo.db
♦ The following connection string fragment instructs the client to make no
attempt to determine addressing information.
Links= tcpip(MyIP=NONE)
