How do I start Multihoming for Novell Servers
- Thread starter amhuggi
- Start date
Novell's definition of multihoming is the ability to add a secondary or more tcp/ip addresses to a single LAN interface. Multihoming with Novell's TCPIP.NLM is the capability of a single network interface to assume multiple network identities on the *same* subnet. For example, a single network interface can be assigned 3 IP addresses: 130.57.5.1, 130.57.5.2, and 130.57.5.3.<br>
<br>
TCPIP.NLM v4.xx is required for multihoming. It is available in the patch TCPN04A.EXE or later at support.novell.com. It is a common, general purpose TCPIP update for NetWare.<br>
<br>
After loading the TCPIP.NLM on the server and binding an address to the server, use the following procedure to add a secondary or many additional IP addresses to the original binding. <br>
<br>
To add a second or even more IP addresses to a network board:<br>
1. Edit SYS:SYSTEM\AUTOEXEC.NCF. <br>
2. Add the following line after the last BIND statement or after the (SYS:ETC\INITSYS.NCF statement) in the autoexec.ncf:<br>
<br>
add secondary ipaddress x.x.x.x<br>
<br>
Where "x.x.x.x" is on the *same* network as the IP address used in the BIND statement. Repeat the command for all secondary IP addresses needed.<br>
<br>
NOTE: This procedure is only supported with command lines. It is not supported in INETCFG at this time.<br>
<br>
3.Save the file. <br>
<br>
The following options are available on the system console:<br>
<br>
To delete a secondary IP address, use the command<br>
<br>
del secondary ipaddress x.x.x.x<br>
<br>
To display or see the secondary IP addresses associated with all the interface bindings, use the command<br>
<br>
display secondary ipaddress<br>
<br>
Support Binding of Multiple IP addresses in the same subnet to a Board Example:<br>
<br>
bind ip ne2000 addr=130.57.176.1 mask=ff.ff.ff.0<br>
<br>
Add Secondary ipaddress 130.57.176.2 <br>
Add Secondary ipaddress 130.57.176.3<br>
<br>
Del Secondary ipaddress 130.57.176.3<br>
<br>
