5. Configuring the NetWare Realm

If you did not select Enable NetWare Compatibility, click Next on the screen that appears and skip to "6. Configuring the AppleTalk Realm".

If you selected Enable NetWare Compatibility, the initial setup wizard advances to the NetWare Compatibility Configuration screen:

1. Enter or select values for the following attributes, as needed:

   Server name -- The file service name, a name not already used on your network with no spaces and 47 or fewer characters. Users connect to this service. TAS gives a default name, nwhostname, to this service. The hostname variable represents the name of your UNIX host server for TAS, as reported by the UNIX hostname and uname -n commands.

   Internal Network Number -- The number of the internal interface. Never delete this number. To configure the device interfaces that connect to the realm, you must have a valid internal network number and at least one interface with the device value set to a network/DLPI device name and frame type. TAS assigns an eight-digit, hexadecimal internal network number to the internal frame type. The number cannot have a value of zero, and the network can contain only one number of this value. Internal Network Number defaults to the value given by the UNIX hostid command.

   Select -- The list of options to enable the corresponding device, frame type, and network number designations to the right. TAS does not configure values corresponding to empty Select boxes.

   Device -- The list of devices you wish to configure, in the format device-file:ppa-number. The device-file variable represents the location of the device file, and the ppa-number variable represents the physical point attachment (PPA) number for the data-link provider interface (DLPI). For example, if the UNIX command netstat -i returns the network name le0, enter /dev/le:0 for this field.

   Frame Type -- The list of frame types you may configure for an interface. You can configure one interface with more than one frame type, provided the interface supports each frame type. You may wish to avoid configuring interfaces that correspond to unused frame types in your environment. For example, if ethernet_snap appears under Frame Type and your network does not use ethernet_snap, you can clear the Select checkbox on that line. Not counting the internal interface, TAS supports six interface types for system configuration. After you finish the initial setup wizard, you can add transport interfaces from the TotalAdmin sphere via Transports->IPX/SPX Interfaces. If the configuration file contains interfaces that do not appear in the result returned from system lookup, this page gives a warning. You can erase those redundant interfaces as described in Chapter 6, Configuring Transports.

   Network Number -- The number to identify a network segment. You should use the same network number for all nodes on the network segment.

   The following example shows Device, Frame Type, and Network Number entries:

   /dev/dlpi/en:0	ethernet_ii	100
   /dev/dlpi/et:0	ethernet_802.2	102
   /dev/dlpi/et:0	ethernet_802.3	101
   /dev/dlpi/et:0	ethernet_snap	103
