- PURPOSE OF THIS PATCH
- ---------------------
-
- This patch includes a version of TCPIP.NLM v2.02j. It includes
- the new, extensible SNMP Agent (SNMP v2.08) and other supporting modules.
-
- This version of TCPIP includes the following:
-
- 1.) This fixes the problem of NetWare 3.11 server abending when the
- hardware platform is Compaq ProSignia and the Lan card is NetFlex
- when TCPIP v1.0 or v1.01 is loaded.
-
- 2.) ARP packets transmitted on FDDI LANs will be sent with the
- Ethernet hardware type (1) instead of the LLC 802.2 hardware
- type (6). The TCPIP NLM will accept ARP packets from FDDI
- LANs with either the Ethernet or LLC 802.2 hardware type.
- This change is to assure connectivity through translation
- bridges.
-
- 3.) The TCPIP NLM will not force the TCP checksum field to FFFFh
- when the checksum is calculated to be 0h. This change provides
- compatability with implementations that do not accept FFFFh
- interchangably with 0h in the checksum field.
-
- 4.) This patch enables users to configure static subnet routing using
- the /etc/gateways file. The usage instructions are given below.
-
- WARNING:
- --------
-
- Do not install this patch unless you are currently using TCPIP
- version 1.0, 1.01, 2.02, 2.02h, or 2.02i. Do not install this
- patch over TCPIP 2.02w or higher.
-
- !!CAUTION!!
-
- Please use the installation instructions in instruct.txt.
-
- Do NOT install the TCP/IP NLM, IPCONFIG NLM, SNMP NLM, or the
- AFTER311 NLM from the Upgrade diskette to a system on which
- MultiProtocol Router, WAN Links, or MultiProtocol Router Plus
- has been installed.
-
- Novell's MultiProtocol Router, WAN Links and MultiProtocol Router Plus
- products already contain coordinated versions of the TCP/IP, IPCONFIG,
- SNMP, and AFTER311 NLMs. Installing this patch will overwrite the
- existing MultiProtocol Router and WAN Links NLMs and will disable the
- routing.
-
-
- Refer to the relnotes.txt file for Release Notes.
-
- INSTALLATION:
- -------------
-
- 1.) Copy the files into a subdirectory called SNMP_1. If the files
- are compressed into a single file TCP162.ZIP, copy TCP162.ZIP
- into the subdirectory and then decompress using the command
- PKUNZIP -d TCP162.
- The -d option will cause PKUNZIP to create the needed subdirectories.
-
- If installation is from floppy disk, give the disk a label of SNMP_1.
- Copy the unzipped version of TCP162.ZIP to the disk.
-
- 2.) Follow the instructions in file INSTRUCT.TXT.
-
-
- Configuring Static Subnet Routing:
- ----------------------------------
-
- If you require static routes, you should indicate the static routes
- in the SYS:\ETC\GATEWAYS file and then load the IPCONFIG NLM after you load
- the TCPIP NLM and bind IP.
-
- It is possible to do static routing as well as static subnet routing
- with this version of IPCONFIG.NLM (v2.02) along with TCPIP (v2.02).
-
- Format of SYS:ETC\GATEWAYS
- --------------------------
-
- Each line in SYS:ETC\GATEWAYS has the following format:
-
-
- { NET network_name | {network_number[/network_mask]} | HOST host}
- GATEWAY gateway [METRIC cost] [ {ACTIVE | PASSIVE } ]
-
- where:
-
- The network_name is the name of a network in SYS:ETC\NETWORKS.
-
- The network_number/network_mask is the IP network address and its subnet
- mask; the subnet mask is optional. If the network_mask is not specified, the
- subnet mask is derived from the network number, excluding all trailing zeros.
-
- The host is the IP address of a host or the name of a host in SYS:ETC\HOSTS.
-
- The gateway is the IP address of a gateway on a locally connected network or
- the name of such a gateway in SYS:ETC\HOSTS.
-
- The cost, or measure of expense, is a value greater than or equal to 1 but less
- than or equal to 15.
-
- The active or passive indicates the type of route for routing information.
-
- For example:
-
- NET 2.0.0.0 GATEWAY 193.1.1.1
-
- HOST 129.1.0.3 GATEWAY 193.1.1.1 PASSIVE
-
- NET 130.57.1.0/255.255.255.0 GATEWAY 193.1.1.1 PASSIVE
-
- Loading the IPCONFIG NLM
- ------------------------
-
- To add the static routes in SYS:ETC\GATEWAYS to the routing database, you
- must load the IPCONFIG NLM. This can be done by entering the LOAD
- IPCONFIG command at the system console. Normally, you place this
- command in your SYS:SYSTEM\AUTOEXEC.NCF file after loading tcpip
- and binding IP to interfaces so that the static routes are added each
- time the system is loaded.
-
- The command is as follows:
-
- LOAD IPCONFIG
-
- NOTE: If you do not have any static routes to configure, you do not need to
- load IPCONFIG.
-
- IPCONFIG reads SYS:ETC\GATEWAYS, places each route into the routing
- database, and then exits. While you are "debugging" your GATEWAYS file,
- problems in the file may cause IPCONFIG to print diagnostic messages.
-
- For each route IPCONFIG finds in SYS:ETC\GATEWAYS, IPCONFIG adds a
- routing entry for the host or network indicated. The first hop in the new
- routing entry is the provided gateway and the metric is the given cost. If no
- metric is given, a cost of 1 is used.
-
- IPCONFIG will support a static subnet route if the subnet mask is associated
- with the subnetwork number in /etc/gateway.
-
- Placing the keywork active on the line indicates that the route is maintained
- by the indicated gateway using normal RIP updates. Active routes are subject
- to normal RIP rules. They may be replaced by routes with lower metric values
- and they time out and disappear if no RIP updates are received for them.
-
- The keyword passive, which is the default if neither active nor passive is
- specified, indicates a route for which no RIP information will ever be
- available. Such routes never time out and IP ignores RIP information for them.
- They can be deleted or modified using TCPCON.
