Setting Up Source Routing Support for a Token-Ring Network

Installing Source Routing on the Server

1 Use the lanscan command to identify the Physical Point of Attachment (PPA) of

the interface you wish to enable for Token Ring Source Routing.

In this example, the ﬁeld labeled NM ID gives the PPA, which is 5, for the

Token Ring interface card at Hardware Path, 8/20/5/8, and which has Station

Address, 0x555555555555.

2 Use the command

/opt/netware4/bin/nwcm -V nwnet | grep ppa=5

to associate the PPA (in this case 5, from step 1) with the appropriate instance of

the conﬁguration parameter.

Each hardware interface has a set of conﬁguration parameters identiﬁed with the

preﬁx lan_ and a number between 1 and 15 to describe information such as

external address number, frame type, PPA and the status of token ring source

routing.

In this example, the output from this command gives:

lan_2_ppa=5

Therefore, the preﬁx of lan_2 is combined with trsr_on to create the

conﬁguration parameter lan_2_trsr_on to describe the status of TRSR for this

network, on or off.

3 To TEST that TRSR is turned off for this interface use:

# /opt/netware4/bin/nwcm -t lan_2_trsr_on=on

and you should get the output:

lan_2_trsr_on=off

4 To enable TRSR for this network use the command:

# /opt/netware4/bin/nwcm -s lan_2_trsr_on=on

and you should get the output:

# lanscan
