NetWare Glossary
B
When you bind a protocol to a board, you specify the cabling scheme’s IPX
external network number. This hexadecimal number must be different from
all other numbers for cabling schemes attached to this server. The cabling
scheme’s IPX external network number must also be different from the
internal network address for the server as well.
NOTE: For NetWare OS file services, only the IPX protocol is available.
For more information on network numbers, see “IPX external network
number.”
Unbinding communication protocols from boards and drivers
To remove a communication protocol from a board and driver, use the
UNBIND console command. If you have loaded the driver more than once,
select the specific board you want to unbind.
Use UNBIND to unbind each board. When the protocol is unbound, users
attached to the cabling scheme of the board cannot log in.
If users are already logged in, they receive a message when they attempt to
access the server.

Boot files
Files, like AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS, that
• Start the operating system and its drivers
• Set environment variables
Workstation boot files depend on the client type (DOS, Windows,). For more
information, see your client manual.
BOOTCONF.SYS
A file used by a workstation using Remote Reset to determine which remote
boot image file to use.
