4.4 NetWare Server Parameters
Several NetWare parameters can be configured to ensure that your ETS 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
Other configurable parameters are discussed in the following sections.
4.4.1 Routing and Encapsulation
The ETS 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 ETS regardless
of frame type. If this behavior is not desired, the ETS can be restricted to only one frame format (and thus
will not need the internal network and routing support). Three commands control this behavior:
◆
Set/Define Protocols NetWare Routing enables or disables the creation and use of an internal
network number.
◆
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.
◆
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
By default, Routing is enabled and all applicable encapsulation types are supported. See Network Protocols
on page 2-2 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 ETS will query for print requests. By
default, the ETS 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 ETS). For example, the following
commands allow the ETS to query all fileservers on the local network, as well as a single non-local server
named RFS2.
