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.
