Configure Native NetWare for Ethernet II
If you have existing Native NetWare servers and clients and have selected
Ethernet II protocol access for the NetWare/iX server, you must also
change the native NetWare servers and clients to support Ethernet II as
described in the following paragraphs.
Native NetWare 2.x File Server
For NetWare version 2.x file server, change configuration to Ethernet
8137 as follows:
1. Backup the file: SYS:SYSTEM\NET$OS.EXE onto a formatted system
disk from the system console.
2. Log into the server from a client as SUPERVISOR.
3. Using the FLAG command in the SYSTEM directory, mark the file
NET$OS.EXE read and write.
4. Change the current directory to SYSTEM\SHGEN.
5. Execute ECONFIG NET$OS.EXE A:E 8137.
6. Use the command FLAG ROS NET$OS.EXE to reset the file permissions.
7. From the file server console, issue the command DOWN.
8. Reboot the server for the new configuration to take effect.
9. If any clients accessed the server, you must change the client
shells to support Ethernet 8137 as described in the section,
Ethernet Client Shells.
Native NetWare 3.x File Server
For NetWare version3.x file server, change configuration to Ethernet 8137
as follows:
1. From the system console for the file server, execute the command
LOAD INSTALL.
2. Select System Options and edit the file AUTOEXEC.NCF.
3. Add the FRAME=Ethernet_II option only to the LOAD command as in
the example below:
LOAD drivername port=### int=# FRAME=Ethernet_II
4. Exit from the INSTALL program.
5. Execute the DOWN command from the file server console.
6. Reboot the server to allow the new configuration to take effect.
7. At the prompt, "exit to DOS" enter yes.
8. Start the server by executing the command SERVER.
Ethernet Client Shells
After creating a client shell using WSGEN utility, the IPX.COM file
supports Ethernet 802.3. Use the ECONFIG utility to change IPX.COM to
support Ethernet II as follows:
1. Change to the floppy drive containing WSGEN diskette and the
IPX.COM file.
2. Enter:
ECONFIG IPX.COM SHELL:8137
The IPX.COM file now supports Ethernet II.
ODI Client Shells
If you are using the ODI client shells, the frame type can be changed in
the NET.CFG file by specifying the frame parameter in the link driver
section. For example:
Table 7-7.
