NetWare Server Parameters Server Configuration 4.4 NetWare Server Parameters Several NetWare parameters can be configured to ensure that your Server functions properly on an IPX network. First, Set/Define Server NetWare Loadhost can be used to specify the fileserver from which to download operational code. Figure 4-7: Defining a NetWare Loadhost Local> DEFINE PROTOCOLS NETWARE LOADHOST "loadserv" Other configurable parameters are discussed in the following sections. 4.4.1 Routing and Encapsulation The Server will listen to all NetWare frame types by creating an internal network number and advertising itself as a router to this network. In general, this will allow all nodes and fileservers to access the Server regardless of frame type. If this behavior is not desired, the Server can be restricted to only one frame format (and thus will not need the internal network and routing support). Three commands control this behavior: x Set/Define Protocols NetWare Routing enables or disables the creation and use of an internal network number. x Set/Define Protocols NetWare Internal Network Number allows you to set the internal network number if the preconfigured internal network number does not meet your requirements. x Set/Define Protocols NetWare Encapsulation controls which frame type to use when routing is disabled. The choices are ETHER_II, NATIVE, 802_2, and SNAP, which provide for Ethernet v2, Native mode, 802.2, and 802.2 SNAP, respectively. Figure 4-8: Setting Frame Types Local> DEFINE PROTOCOL NETWARE ENCAPSULATION SNAP By default, Routing is enabled and all applicable encapsulation types are supported. See Network Protocols on page 2-1 for more information on the various frame types. 4.4.2 NetWare Access Lists The NetWare access lists are used to control which fileservers the Server will query for print requests. By default, the Server will query all fileservers on the local network. The access list contains the names of the fileservers to query, and/or the keywords All (no restriction) and Local (restricts queries to fileservers that are on the same network as the Server). For example, the following commands allow the Server to query all fileservers on the local network, as well as a single non-local server named RFS2.
