Protocol Parameters
Using BIND
 You may not need to use the BIND command unless you want to add new
LAN drivers after the initial server installation.
 You can also use INETCFG to load and bind LAN drivers. INETCFG
places the BIND statements in the initsys.cfg file.
 If you use only the IPX/SPX
TM
protocol, you can add the BIND statement
to the AUTOEXEC.NCF file.
Protocol/Parameter Use to
For IPX protocol:
NET=number
Specify the IPX
TM
external network number.
This is the number of the cabling system
attached to the board.
If the board is attached to an existing cabling
system, use the same IPX external network
number as used by other boards of the same
frame type attached to this cabling system. Do
not use the same number that was used by
boards of a different frame type.
If the board is attached to a new cabling
system or if it is the first board of its frame type
attached to the cabling system, you can enter
any hexadecimal number of up to eight digits,
as long as the number is different from all other
network numbers.
Remember that all boards of the same frame
type attached to the same cabling system must
use the same IPX external network number for
that cabling system.
For other protocols:
Refer to the documentation
that comes with the protocol.
