- NetWare/IP Administration Help Help 1 of 3
- The NetWare/IP Administration menu allows you
- to manage all aspects of setting up a primary
- DSS server, a secondary DSS server, or a
- NetWare/IP server. You can select one of the
- following options from this menu:
- Configure NetWare/IP Server
- This option allows you to configure this
- server as a NetWare/IP server by
- defining the NetWare/IP domain.
- <Esc>=Exit Help <PgDn>=Nextq
- NetWare/IP Administration Help Help 2 of 3
- Delete NetWare/IP Configuration
- This option allows you to remove all
- NetWare/IP configuration information
- on this server. You should use this option
- to deconfigure NetWare/IP on this machine.
-
- Configure Primary DSS
- This option allows you to configure this
- server as the primary DSS. You must
- configure a primary DSS for NetWare/IP
- to function.
- <Esc>=Exit Help <PgDn>=Next
- NetWare/IP Administration Help Help 3 of 3
- Configure Secondary DSS
- This option allows you to configure this
- server as a secondary DSS. You should
- configure at least one secondary DSS
- server to provide redundancy.
- Delete DSS Configuration
- This option deconfigures this server as a
- DSS. You should use this option if you do
- not want this server to be a DSS or you
- want to change the server from a primary
- DSS to a secondary DSS or vice versa.
- NetWare/IP Server Configuration Help Help 1 of 5
- This screen contains allows you to view or
- enter the NetWare/IP domain. The NetWare/IP domain
- conforms to the same naming conventions as DNS.
- The NetWare/IP domain must reside at the bottom
- of the DNS hierarchy: it cannot delegate
- authority to domains below it. This domain must
- encompass all nodes (servers and clients) in the
- NetWare/IP internetwork. It includes all nodes
- serviced by the primary DSS and its secondaries,
- regardless of where the hostnames of those nodes
- fall within the DNS hierarchy.
- <Esc>=Exit Help <PgDn>=Next
- NetWare/IP Server Configuration Help Help 2 of 5
- If this machine is acting as a gateway and has
- two boards, an additional field appears which
- asks you to select the Preferred IP Address.
- (NetWare/IP can only bind to one board.)
- Pressing <Enter> on this field displays a list
- of available IP addresses. Select the preferred
- IP address from the list.
- Preferred DSSes
- This option allows you to optimize the network
- traffic between this Netware/IP server and the
- <Esc>=Exit Help <PgDn>=Next
- NetWare/IP Server Configuration Help Help 3 of 5
- the DSS that this server uses. A DSS
- preference is specified by providing either a
- DSS hostname (or ip address) or a partial
- address (to be used in selecting those DSSes
- whose ip address matches the given partial
- ip addres).
- Initial DSS Contact Retries
- The number of times the NetWare/IP server
- retries contacting a DSS at startup. This is
- useful when the Netware/IP server starts
- before any of the DSSes are ready.
- <Esc>=Exit Help <PgDn>=Next
- NetWare/IP Server Configuration Help Help 4 of 5
- Retry Interval
- Time between the Initial DSS contact retries.
- Slow Link Customizations
- This option allows this server to access
- remote Netware/IP servers over slow links
- (otherwise, some applications could time out
- when connected to remote servers). This won't
- be necessary in most cases. Where necessary,
- you should customize by providing a remote ip
- network/host and the approximate one-way time
- it takes to ping to a host on the remote site.
- <Esc>=Exit Help <PgDn>=Next
- NetWare/IP Server Configuration Help Help 5 of 5
- Time is specified in Ticks (1/18th s). Use the
- NetWare ping utility to get a time estimate.
- Forward IPX Information to DSS
- Specifies whether this NetWare/IP server
- should act as a forwarding gateway. A
- forwarding gateway connects IP and IPX network
- segments. The default is no.
- Primary DSS Configuration Help Help 1 of 3
- You use this form to configure the primary
- DSS. You must configure the primary DSS for
- NetWare/IP to function.
- The primary DSS supports all servers and
- clients on a NetWare/IP internetwork, allowing
- you to set up a centralized administrative
- domain.
- Once configured, the primary DSS handles
- SAP/RIP requests and database replication
- automatically. It is recommended that a server
- that has relatively low utilization be
- designated primary DSS.
- <Esc>=Exit Help <PgDn>=Next
- Primary DSS Configuration Help Help 2 of 3
- This form contains the following fields:
- NetWare/IP Domain
- This field contains the NetWare/IP domain.
- The NetWare/IP domain conforms to the
- same naming conventions as DNS.
-
- Primary DSS Hostname
- This field contains the fully qualified
- hostname of the server. For example,
- hostname.domain.com.
- Primary DSS Configuration Help Help 3 of 3
- IPX Network Number (in hex)
- This field displays the IPX external
- network number. You can assign an
- arbitrary hexadecimal number, one to eight
- digits (1 to FFFFFFFF), but the number
- must be unique for the IPX network.
- Tunable Parameters
- This field contains the DSS tunable
- parameters. Pressing <Enter> on this field
- displays the Tunable Parameters form. You
- can view and modify the parameters from
- the form.B
- Secondary DSS Configuration Help Help 1 of 2
- You use this form to configure a secondary
- DSS. You must configure a primary DSS before
- configuring a secondary.
- The secondary DSS provides for faster service
- and redundancy. Each secondary contains a
- read-only copy of the DSS database that
- automatically obtains information from the
- primary DSS. Therefore, it is recommended that
- you configure one secondary DSS per
- subnetwork.
- <Esc>=Exit Help <PgDn>=Next
- Secondary DSS Configuration Help Help 2 of 2
- This form contains the following fields:
- NetWare/IP Domain
- This field contains the NetWare/IP domain.
- The NetWare/IP domain conforms to the
- same naming conventions as DNS.
-
- Primary DSS Hostname
- This field contains the fully qualified
- hostname of the primary DSS server. For
- example, hostname.domain.com.

- DNS Client Help Help 1 of 1
- You use this form to configure DNS. You
- must set up DNS, before you configure a DSS
- or NetWare/IP server.
- This form contains the following fields:
- DNS Domain
- Enter the fully qualified DNS domain name.
- Nameserver
- Enter the IP address of the first DNS
- nameserver to contact to resolve queries.
- Use the additional Nameserver fields to
- identify secondary and tertiary nameservers.
- Tunable Parameters Help Help 1 of 3
- This form allows you to view and modify the
- DSS parameters. If you decide to modify any
- parameter after your initial configuration,
- you must stop and then restart each server
- in the NetWare/IP internetwork and then each
- client must logout and then log into the
- network.
- This form contains the following fields:
- UDP Port Number for NetWare/IP Service
- This parameter specifies the port numbers
- assigned for NetWare/IP service. The
- configuration process assigns two
- consecutive ports. The default is 43981 in
- a range of 1 to 65535.
-
- <Esc>=Exit Help <PgDn>=Next
- Tunable Parameters Help Help 2 of 3
- DSS-Netware/IP Server Synchronization Interval
- This parameter specifies how often a
- NetWare/IP server queries DSS for updated
- information. The default is 5 minutes in
- a range of 1 to 60.
- Primary-Secondary DSS Synchronization Interval
- This parameter specifies how often a
- secondary DSS queries the primary DSS for
- updated information.
- Maximum UDP Transmissions
- This parameter specifies how often the
- same packet information is re-sent if no
- acknowledgment is received. The default
- is 3 times in a range of 1 to 48.
- <Esc>=Exit Help <PgDn>=Next
- Tunable Parameters Help Help 3 of 3
- UDP Checksum?
- This parameter specifies whether
- transmitted information should be checked
- for errors. The default is No, to provide
- the fastest transmission service.
- Ticks between Netware/IP Nodes
- These parameters specify the approximate
- one-way time (in ticks, 1 tick = 1/18 sec)
- between two Netware/IP nodes on the same
- IP subnet, same IP net and different IP
- nets.
