AUTOEXEC.NCF File for One Group of Three NICs
Adding a Group
1 Install the NICs.
Follow the procedures in Installing and Connecting the NIC
on page 34.
Connect all NICs in the group to the same network.
2 Make the following changes to the AUTOEXEC.NCF
file:
■
Add or verify the LOAD commands for the LAN
drivers for all slot-frame instances.
■
In each group, load the same protocols and frame
types on the primary and all secondary NICs.
■
On the primary NIC only, bind a protocol to each
slot-frame instance.
■
Remove any BIND commands from each secondary
NIC.
■
For each group, add an LBRSL GROUP command to
bind the primary and secondary NICs together. There
can be only one LBRSL GROUP command per group,
and it must list the primary and all secondary NICs.
Place this command after the LAN driver LOAD
commands or the SYS:ETC\INITSYS.NCF command.
To specify a load balancing group with resilient
load se
load lbrsl
;Define primary NIC slot-frame instances
load 3c990 slot=10001 frame=ethernet_802.2 name=p1_802.2
load 3c990 slot=10001 frame=ethernet_ii name=p1_ii
;Define secondary NIC slot-frame instances
load 3c990 slot=10002 frame=ethernet_802.2 name=p2_802.2

;Bind protocols to primary NIC
bind ipx to p1_802.2 net=FF02
bind ip to p1_ii address=192.1.1.1 mask=ff.ff.ff.00
;Create a group with NIC 10001 primary and NICs 10002 and 1003 secondary

;To create a resilient server link group without load balancing (for

;lbrsl group rsl 10001 10002 10003
