Installation and Configuration Instructions 31

■ For each group, add an LBRSL GROUP command to group 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.

To specify a load balancing group with resilient server links, use the LB option.

To specify a resilient server link group without load balancing, use the RSL

option.

For the LBRSL GROUP command syntax, see Server Feature Commands on

page 37.

For more information on maintaining the group conﬁguration, see Conﬁguring

Groups on page 34.

5 Save the AUTOEXEC.NCF ﬁle and return to the server prompt.

The sample AUTOEXEC.NCF ﬁle in Figure 7 shows a group of two NICs. The

primary NIC in slot 10001 is bound to a secondary NIC in slot 10002.

Verify the Installation

and Conﬁguration

To verify that the driver has been properly loaded on the NetWare server, perform

the following procedure:

1 At the system prompt, enter:

load monitor

The NetWare Monitor screen appears.

2 From the Available Options menu, select LAN/WAN Drivers.

The Available LAN Driver menu appears. If the driver has been properly loaded, the

driver and frame types associated with the driver appear on this menu.

If INETCFG is used, all adapters will have protocol bindings. You will have to

unbind all secondary adapters in the AUTOEXEC.NCF ﬁle.
