DuraLAN Fast Ethernet NICs User's Guide Driver Configurations for Adaptec DuraLAN NICs A number of driver configurations are available for the Adaptec DuraLAN NICs. With the Standalone driver configuration, each port acts like a separate NIC and has its own protocol level address. In this driver configuration, each port or NIC would normally connect to a physically separate network. Be sure to observe correct subnetting when configuring your protocol while using the Standalone driver configuration. Consult your operating system documentation for details. The following driver types are outlined in the sections that follow: s DuraLAN Standalone driver The Standalone driver uses each DuraLAN port independently. You will find references to standard and standalone. These terms are used somewhat interchangeably. The software GUI, including online menus, tables, and text use Standalone and Standard. In most cases, the meaning is the same. Note: The Windows 98, Windows Me, UnixWare, and Linux drivers support the Standalone port configuration only. s Duralink64 Failover driver The Duralink64 Failover driver groups two ports in a Failover combination, one as the primary port and the other as the backup port. The ports may be connected to a hub or switch. Note: Novell Client32 does not support Duralink64 Failover. Install the DuraLAN Standalone driver for these OSs. s Duralink64 Port Aggregation or FEC drivers The Duralink64 Port Aggregation driver groups up to twelve ports together and must be used with a switch. FEC can be grouped in groups of two or four. This grouping requires a switch that supports FEC. 1-8
