════════════════════════════════════════════════  The NetWare/IP Administration menu allows you
 to manage all aspects of setting up a primary
 DSS server, a secondary DSS server, or a
 NetWare/IP server. You can select one of the
 following options from this menu:

 Configure NetWare/IP Server
     This option allows you to configure this
     server as a NetWare/IP server by
     defining the NetWare/IP domain.

════════════════════════════════════════════════  Delete NetWare/IP Configuration
     This option allows you to remove all
     NetWare/IP configuration information 
     on this server. You should use this option
     to deconfigure NetWare/IP on this machine.
     
 Configure Primary DSS
     This option allows you to configure this
     server as the primary DSS. You must
     configure a primary DSS for NetWare/IP
     to function.

 <Esc>=Exit Help                    <PgDn>=Next@20 NetWare/IP Administration Help     Help 3 of 3
════════════════════════════════════════════════ Configure Secondary DSS
     This option allows you to configure this
     server as a secondary DSS. You should
     configure at least one secondary DSS
     server to provide redundancy.

 Delete DSS Configuration
     This option deconfigures this server as a
     DSS. You should use this option if you do
     not want this server to be a DSS or you
     want to change the server from a primary
     DSS to a secondary DSS or vice versa.

════════════════════════════════════════════════════ This screen contains allows you to view or
 enter the NetWare/IP domain. The NetWare/IP domain
 conforms to the same naming conventions as DNS. 

 The NetWare/IP domain must reside at the bottom
 of the DNS hierarchy: it cannot delegate
 authority to domains below it. This domain must
 encompass all nodes (servers and clients) in the
 NetWare/IP internetwork. It includes all nodes
 serviced by the primary DSS and its secondaries,
 regardless of where the hostnames of those nodes
 fall within the DNS hierarchy.

════════════════════════════════════════════════════ If this machine is acting as a gateway and has
 two boards, an additional field appears which
 asks you to select the Preferred IP Address.
 (NetWare/IP can only bind to one board.)  

 Pressing <Enter> on this field displays a list
 of available IP addresses. Select the preferred
 IP address from the list.

 Preferred DSSes
     This option allows you to optimize the network
     traffic between this Netware/IP server and the

════════════════════════════════════════════════════     the DSS that this server uses. A DSS
     preference is specified by providing either a
     DSS hostname (or ip address) or a partial
     address (to be used in selecting those DSSes
     whose ip address matches the given partial
     ip addres).

Initial DSS Contact Retries
     The number of times the NetWare/IP server
     retries contacting a DSS at startup. This is
     useful when the Netware/IP server starts
     before any of the DSSes are ready.

     Time between the Initial DSS contact retries.

Slow Link Customizations
     This option allows this server to access
     remote Netware/IP servers over slow links
     (otherwise, some applications could time out
     when connected to remote servers). This won't
     be necessary in most cases. Where necessary,
     you should customize by providing a remote ip
     network/host and the approximate one-way time
     it takes to ping to a host on the remote site.

     NetWare ping utility to get a time estimate.

Forward IPX Information to DSS
     Specifies whether this NetWare/IP server
     should act as a forwarding gateway. A
     forwarding gateway connects IP and IPX network
     segments. The default is no.
20[ Primary DSS Configuration Help     Help 1 of 3
════════════════════════════════════════════════  You use this form to configure the primary
 DSS. You must configure the primary DSS for
 NetWare/IP to function.

 The primary DSS supports all servers and
 clients on a NetWare/IP internetwork, allowing
 you to set up a centralized administrative
 domain.

 Once configured, the primary DSS handles
 SAP/RIP requests and database replication
 automatically. It is recommended that a server
 that has relatively low utilization be
 designated primary DSS.

 NetWare/IP Domain
     This field contains the NetWare/IP domain.
     The NetWare/IP domain conforms to the
     same naming conventions as DNS.
     
 Primary DSS Hostname
     This field contains the fully qualified
     hostname of the server. For example,
     hostname.domain.com.

════════════════════════════════════════════════  IPX Network Number (in hex)
     This field displays the IPX external 
     network number. You can assign an
     arbitrary hexadecimal number, one to eight
     digits (1 to FFFFFFFF), but the number
     must be unique for the IPX network.

 Tunable Parameters
     This field contains the DSS tunable
     parameters. Pressing <Enter> on this field
     displays the Tunable Parameters form. You
     can view and modify the parameters from
     the form.B20 Secondary DSS Configuration Help   Help 1 of 2
════════════════════════════════════════════════  You use this form to configure a secondary
 DSS. You must configure a primary DSS before
 configuring a secondary.

 The secondary DSS provides for faster service
 and redundancy. Each secondary contains a
 read-only copy of the DSS database that
 automatically obtains information from the 
 primary DSS. Therefore, it is recommended that
 you configure one secondary DSS per 
 subnetwork.

════════════════════════════════════════════════  You use this form to configure DNS. You 
 must set up DNS, before you configure a DSS
 or NetWare/IP server.

 This form contains the following fields:

 DNS Domain
     Enter the fully qualified DNS domain name.

 Nameserver
     Enter the IP address of the first DNS
     nameserver to contact to resolve queries.
    
 Use the additional Nameserver fields to
 identify secondary and tertiary nameservers.

════════════════════════════════════════════════ This form allows you to view and modify the
 DSS parameters. If you decide to modify any
 parameter after your initial configuration,
 you must stop and then restart each server
 in the NetWare/IP internetwork and then each
 client must logout and then log into the 
 network.

 This form contains the following fields:

 UDP Port Number for NetWare/IP Service
     This parameter specifies the port numbers
     assigned for NetWare/IP service. The
     configuration process assigns two
     consecutive ports. The default is 43981 in
     a range of 1 to 65535.

════════════════════════════════════════════════ DSS-Netware/IP Server Synchronization Interval
     This parameter specifies how often a
     NetWare/IP server queries DSS for updated
     information. The default is 5 minutes in
     a range of 1 to 60.

 Primary-Secondary DSS Synchronization Interval
     This parameter specifies how often a
     secondary DSS queries the primary DSS for
     updated information. 

 Maximum UDP Transmissions
     This parameter specifies how often the
     same packet information is re-sent if no
     acknowledgment is received. The default
     is 3 times in a range of 1 to 48.

════════════════════════════════════════════════ UDP Checksum?
     This parameter specifies whether
     transmitted information should be checked 
     for errors. The default is No, to provide 
     the fastest transmission service.

 Ticks between Netware/IP Nodes
     These parameters specify the approximate
     one-way time (in ticks, 1 tick = 1/18 sec)
     between two Netware/IP nodes on the same
     IP subnet, same IP net and different IP
     nets.
