Verify Link Configuration 

To assure the link and required device files were created correctly, do
the following: 

   1.  Log onto the system:

       :hello manager.sys

   2.  Run NMMGR and verify the link name(s) you want to configure for
       NetWare/ iX are configured.  If not, use NMMGR to create the link
       names.

   3.  From the MPE prompt, type the command:

       :listfile /dev/dlpi@,7

   4.  The device file names use the following naming conventions:

       dev/dlpi.linkname

       Where linkname is the configured link name from NMMGR (represented
       in lowercase letters, up to eight characters in length).  The link
       can either be a LAN link or token-ring link.  Note that the device
       file name must be in lowercase letters.

   5.  If the device file for your link name is not configured, enter the
       following command: 

       :mknod "/dev/dlpi.linkname c 01 96 LINKNAME"

       Where linkname is the link name in lower case letters and LINKNAME
       is the NMMGR configured linkname in uppercase letters.  Linknames
       can be up to eight characters in length.  The numbers 01 and 96
       are specific to the DLPI device files and are the same numbers
       used for a LAN or token-ring link device file.

       For example, to create a device file name for SYSLINK enter the
       command as follows:

       :mknod "/dev/dlpi.syslink  c 01  96 SYSLINK"
