NET.CFG Options Reference
Link Driver Option
For example, node addresses for both modes could appear as follows:
• node address 0800005A656BL (canonical LSB)
• node address 1000005AA6D6M (non-canonical MSB)
NOTE: If the “M” or “L” is not specified, the default mode for the node address is the
physical layer form of the address.
NOTE: Even though FDDI is a non-canonical topology at the physical layer, all address are
sent and received in canonical (LSB) mode.
A node labeled with an “M” for non-canonical mode address supports media setup
for canonical mode, because the LAN driver simply swaps the provided address to
obtain the appropriate canonical (LSB) address.
LANSUP
This parameter allows the LANSUP.COM file set to the frame size for a
token-ring driver.
Syntax node address hex_address [mode]
Default None
Example To change the node address of an NTR2000 LAN driver to
“1000005aa6d6” for non-canonical mode, you would
place the following lines in your NET.CFG file:
link driver ntr2000
node address 1000005aa6d6m
Syntax open
Default None
Example
To allow the RPL protocol to increase the frame size
for a remote boot workstation running the LANSUP
software above 1 KB, you would place the following
lines in your NET.CFG file:
link driver lansup
