Protocol TCPIP Option
You can set up client workstations to use either an Ethernet connection with
a SLIP/PPP serial link or a network gateway machine with two network
boards.
Protocol TCPIP supports one network board and LAN driver per client
workstation.
BIND odi_driver [number frame_type network_name]
Binds the TCP/IP protocol stack to a LAN driver. When TCP/IP is bound to
a LAN driver, the network board or COMn device for that LAN driver is the
board or device used for transmissions to and from the network.
This parameter is needed only if you are running more than one ODI LAN
driver to support TCP/IP.
Syntax bind odi_driver [number frame_type network_name]
Replace odi_driver with a token-ring or Ethernet
ODI LAN driver name, or with the SLIP_PPP
driver name.
Replace number with the instance of the LAN
driver number.
Use of this number binds TCP/IP to a particular
occurrence of a network board when you have
two boards with the same name.
This number reflects the load sequence number
of the network board (not the same as the logical
board number displayed by the LAN driver
when it is loaded).
Using board number 0 instructs TCP/IP to bind
to the first board it finds that supports both TCP/
IP and the specified frame type.
