Using REMOVE NETWORK ADAPTER
If there is only one instance of the network board in the server, you do not need
to use REMOVE NETWORK ADAPTER. You can simply unload the LAN
driver using the UNLOAD command or the NWCONFIG utility. Unloading
the LAN driver releases the memory resources used by the board and driver.
Example
REMOVE NETWORK ADAPTER NE2000, 2
REMOVE NETWORK INTERFACE
Purpose
Use at the server console to unload one frame type when there are multiple
frame types loaded with one LAN driver. Each instance of one frame type
loaded with one LAN driver is called a logical board.
When you use REMOVE NETWORK INTERFACE to unload a frame type,
the associated LAN driver with its other frame types remains loaded and
active.
Syntax
REMOVE NETWORK INTERFACE board_number | board_name
board_instance Specify the instance number of the board if there is more
than one board of the same type in the server.
Find the instance number in MONITOR by selecting
LAN/WAN Drivers and highlighting the driver name. The
information window at the top of the screen displays
information about the driver, including Board Instance
Number.
