Missing INETCFG Information
If any information is missing from INETCFG after a new installation, it is
because no information was uploaded to the TCPIP.CFG file. Similarly, if
INETCFG information is missing or you get configuration error messages
after an upgrade, it is because no new information was uploaded to the
TCPIP.CFG file and some entries have become invalid. In either case, delete
the SYS:/ETC/TCPIP.CFG file and reconfigure through INETCFG.
Supernetting
 Once the server is configured with a supernet mask, it behaves like an end
node when IP Forward gets disabled. It continues to behave like an end
node, even if the mask is changed to a non-supernet mask and the system
is reinitialized. To make it work like a router, change the state of the IP
packet forwarding or RIP or LAN Static Routing in INETCFG and
reinitialize the system.
 With the CIDR mask on, some valid host IDs ending in .255/.0 cannot be
bound.
Fault Tolerance
 Fault tolerance is supported on ODI
TM
compliant drivers (such as
CE100B, IBMFE, PCNTNW, 3C90XC, and N100).
 Load balancing and fault tolerance features cannot be configured in the
protocols menu of INETCFG if the bindings are created by transferring
commands from AUTOEXEC.NCF. To resolve this problem, delete all of
the bindings from the Bindings menu and add them again.
