This is a port of Mars_nwe, a free NetWare(tm) emulator for Linux and
|
||
|
|
UnixWare to FreeBSD. An original program was written by Martin Stover,
|
||
|
|
Marburg, Germany. Port to FreeBSD was made by Boris Popov (bp@butya.kz).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Notes given below related only to FreeBSD. For full description
|
||
|
|
of Mars_nwe, please read README file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Additional info about IPX on FreeBSD available at
|
||
|
|
http://www.butya.kz/~bp/
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Kernel configuration
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To enable kernel support for IPX protocol you must include
|
||
|
|
"options IPX" keyword and rebuild kernel. If you are running FreeBSD
|
||
|
|
3.x or 2.2.8, please download patched versions for IPX stack and
|
||
|
|
IPXrouted frow above URL. These changes already commited in to -current
|
||
|
|
branch.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Interface configuration
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If it's first NCP server in your network you can select any network
|
||
|
|
number for ethernet interface. If not, take it from Netware server
|
||
|
|
configuration. Network number must be the same as assigned to Ethernet_II
|
||
|
|
frame.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After net number is selected you can configure interface:
|
||
|
|
ifconfig ed0 ipx 0x101
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If FreeBSD machine have a two network cards you must choose
|
||
|
|
different network numbers for each card.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also select an unqiue number for internal net and configure it
|
||
|
|
as follows:
|
||
|
|
ifconfig lo0 ipx 0xbebe.1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note, that you should set host number to 1.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Running IPXrouted
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
FreeBSD have its own SAP/RIP daemon which must be run before
|
||
|
|
Mars_nwe and after interface configuration. IPXrouted must be running
|
||
|
|
with switch '-s'. Please use only patched version of IPXrouted if you
|
||
|
|
are run 2.2.8 or 3.x of FreeBSD.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. Client configuration
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This port of Mars_nwe was tested with VLM, Client32 and
|
||
|
|
native FreeBSD clients. Since FreeBSD support only Ethernet_II frame
|
||
|
|
it is necessary to create net.cfg file (for VLM) to enable this
|
||
|
|
frame:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
LINK DRIVER NE2000
|
||
|
|
Frame Ethernet_802.3
|
||
|
|
Frame Ethernet_II
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5. Configuring Mars_nwe
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Section 3 of nwserv.conf file specified network number in hexadecimal
|
||
|
|
format. This should be an internal network number configured on interface lo0.
|
||
|
|
For above example set following:
|
||
|
|
3 0xbebe
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Section 4 are completly ignored.
