Enabling Services for NetWare

 

The NetWare protocol is disabled on the NAS system by default. You must enable the NetWare protocol for NetWare clients to access the NAS system.

 

To enable the NetWare protocol, perform the following steps:

1.

 

Log in to the NAS Manager.

2.

 

Click Shares.

3.

 

Click Sharing Protocols.

4.

 

Click NetWare Protocol, and then click Enable.

 

 

Disabling Services for NetWare Protocol

Log in to the NAS Manager.

2.

 

Click Shares.

3.

 

Click Sharing Protocols.

4.

 

Click NetWare Protocol, and then click Disable.

 

Configuring the NWLink IPX/SPX Compatible Protocol

 

To configure this protocol, you need the internal network number, frame type, and network number.

 

Internal Network Number

 

Internal network numbers are used for internal routing and are generally needed only for servers. You should not need to change this option on your system.

 

Frame Type and Network Number

 

Frame types define the packet formats that are used by different networks. It is important that all systems in a network have the same frame type so that
they can communicate with the rest of the network.

 

When you are configuring your system, it attempts to automatically detect the frame type for the client system. In most cases, this is successful. However, the
automatic detection feature occasionally selects an inappropriate frame type, usually because more than one frame type exists on the network. If this
happens, manually set the frame type to match the one specified on your system running NetWare.

 

 

Configuring the IPX Protocol

 

By default, the IPX protocol is configured on the NAS system to automatically detect frame types. To use the IPX protocol, you must change your NAS system's
IPX properties to manually detect frame types.

 

To configure the IPX protocol to manually detect frame types, perform the following steps:

NOTE:

For the NAS system, the default NetWare supervisor user name is supervisor, and the password is powervault. Change the user name and

password to ensure security.

NOTE:

If more than one frame type exists, you should select the one that is detected first. For example, if the frame types Ethernet 802.2 and Ethernet

802.3 are bound to the same segment, configure frame type Ethernet 802.2. The order of detection is Ethernet 802.2, Ethernet 802.3, Ethernet II, and
then Ethernet SNAP.
