Uninstalling Advanced Server Features59Additional Command Line KeywordsCHECKSUM=ONThis enables BASP.LAN to offload TCP/UDP and IP checksums to the bound NIC ifsupported. This will improve performance if some or all NIC in the team support hardwarechecksums.Example:A team of two BCM5700 NICs with hardware checksums enabled.LOAD BASP.LAN FRAME=ETHERNET_II NAME=B57_1_EII CHECKSUM=ONVSLOT=1LOAD B57.LAN FRAME=ETHERNET_II NAME=B57_1_EII CHECKSUM=ON SLOT=1LOAD B57.LAN FRAME=ETHERNET_II NAME=B57_2_EII CHECKSUM=ON SLOT=2BASP BIND BASP_1_EII B57_1_EIIBASP BIND BASP_1_EII B57_2_EIINOSCREENDisables the menu-driven screen when BASP.LAN is loaded for the first time.Example:LOAD BASP.LAN FRAME=ETHERNET_II NAME=BASP_1_EII VSLOT=1 NOSCREENGVRPThis enables GVRP (Garp VLAN Registration Protocol) for the VLAN that is loaded. Anuntagged 802.2 frame type must be loaded in the virtual NIC and all bound physical NICsfor GVRP to take effect. This is necessary because GVRP uses untagged 802.2 frames toadvertise VLAN memberships. Use VLAN=0 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 in the LOADcommand to specify untagged 802.2 frame type.Example:LOAD BASP.LAN FRAME=ETHERNET_II NAME=BASP_1_V2_EII VSLOT=1 VLAN=2GVRPLOAD BASP.LAN FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 NAME=BASP_1_V2_EII VSLOT=1VLAN=0Editing the AUTOEXEC.NCF FileWhen a NIC configuration is saved, the NetWare install program adds load and bindstatements to the autoexec.ncf file. By accessing this file, you can verify the parametersconfigured for each NIC, add or delete parameters, or modify parameters.Autoexec.ncf File ExamplesA valid autoexec.ncf file is shown below. It includes one set of load and bind commandsfor each VLAN the NIC is configured to support. One load command (in bold) is enteredfor each NIC you want to add to a failover team.Example 1:set Time Zone = PST8PDTset Daylight Savings Time Offset = 1:00:00set Start Of Daylight Savings Time = (APRIL SUNDAY FIRST 2:00:00AM)set End Of Daylight Savings Time = (OCTOBER SUNDAY LAST 2:00:00AM)set Default Time Server Type = SINGLE
