- Server Adapter Teaming Features
- ===============================
-
- Server adapters support advanced teaming features:
-
- Adapter Fault Tolerance (AFT)
- Adaptive Load Balancing (ALB)
- Fast EtherChannel* (FEC)
-
- For more information on these teaming features and how to set up
- teaming on specific adapters, see the file TEAMING.TXT in the
- \INFO\GENERAL directory.
-
-
- VLANS on PRO/100 Adapters
- =========================
-
- A VLAN is a logical grouping of network devices put together as a LAN regardless
- of their physical grouping or collision domains. VLANs let a user see and access
- only specified network segments. This optimizes network efficiency and maintains
- security access restrictions. VLANs require special switches that are capable of
- supporting VLANs. All PRO/100+, PRO/100 S PCI and PRO/1000 adapters currently
- support VLANs when attached to a VLAN enabled switch.
-
- A VLAN offers you the ability to group users and client PCs together into
- logical workgroups, a critical consideration when connecting clients to servers
- that are geographically dispersed across the building, campus, or enterprise
- network.
-
- Typically, VLANs consist of a common set of coworkers within the same department
- but in different locations, a cross-functional team working on a joint project,
- or a diverse set of users sharing the same network application. Joining workers
- across the network forms logical working groups.
- By using VLANs on your network, you can:
-
- - Improve network performance
- - Limit broadcast storms
- - Improve adds, moves, and changes
- - Minimize security problems
- - Ease your management task
-
- For overview information on Intel VLANs, visit the Intel Networking Web site:

- Making Floppy Disks for NetWare and Windows Installation
- ========================================================
-
- If you need to use a floppy disk to install the adapter
- drivers, use the MAKEDISK.BAT utility located in the
- \MAKEDISK directory on this CD.
-
- MAKEDISK [operating system] [destination]
-
- where [operating system] is the OS for which you are creating the
- diskette, and [destination] is the drive letter and path (such
- as A:). If no destination is specified, the A: drive will be used.
-
- The possible [operating system] options are:
-
- NT = Microsoft Windows NT
- W2K = Microsoft Windows* 2000
- W9X = Microsoft Windows* 95 and Windows 98
- NW = Novell NetWare servers and clients
- DOS = Microsoft DOS and IBM OS2
-
- Make sure you have a 1.44 MB formatted, non-bootable diskette in
- the floppy drive when using this utility.
-
- NOTE: This utility MUST be run from the \MAKEDISK directory.
-
- Alternately, you can use the following .BAT files (located
- in the root directory on this CD) to simplify this process:
-
- MAKEW9X.BAT -- Creates a drivers disk for Windows 95 and
- Windows 98.
-
- MAKENT.BAT -- Creates a drivers disk for Windows NT.
-
- MAKEW2K.BAT -- Creates a drivers disk for Windows 2000.
-
- MAKENW.BAT -- Creates a drivers disk for Novell NetWare
- servers and clients.
-
-
- Management Adapters
- ===================
-
- For more information on the Management adapters, see the
- file MANAGE.TXT in the \INFO\GENERAL directory.
-
-
- DMI and SNMP Software Support
- =============================
-
- This adapter provides Desktop Management Interface 2.0 and SNMP
- capability for your Management applications. Software for DMI and
- SNMP is located in the \dmi-snmp directory on this CD.
-
- For DMI-SNMP information for NetWare, see the dminet.txt file in the
- \dmi-snmp\snmp\nwserver directory
-
- For DMI-SNMP information for Windows NT, see the dmiwin.txt file in the
- \dmi-snmp\snmp\win32 directory
-
-
- Push Installations
- ==================
-
- If you are a network administrator interested in unattended installation
- of the adapter drivers (push installation), see the following readme
- files:
-
- Windows 95/98...\push\win9x\w9xpush.txt
- Windows NT......\info\ms\ntpush.txt
-
-
- Installing Intel LANDesk(R) Client Manager
- ==========================================
-
- Intel LANDesk Client Manager is an application that simplifies the
- management of mobile and desktop client systems. By utilizing standards
- and industry initiatives such as DMI, SNMP and Intel's Wired for
- Management (WfM) Initiative, it inventories critical hardware and
- software components and monitors PC health, providing local and remote
- alert notification.
-
- We have included the Client Manager version 3.3 on this Intel CD. For
- more information on installing and using the Client Manager, refer to
- the User's Guide Acrobat Reader PDF file (ldcm_ug.pdf), located in the
- \ldcm directory.
