# Example 1: 2 Adapter Fault Tolerant Team (Gigabit and PRO/100 Server)

# The following is an example of an AFT team that consists of a gigabit adapter
# and a PRO/100 adapter.  The Gigabit is the primary and the PRO/100 is the 
# secondary.  For the sake of simplicity, only one frame type, the default of 
# 802.2, is used.  Because the default frame type is used, it does not need to 
# be specified on the command line.  It is also assumed that only one instance 
# of each adapter is present in the system so a slot number does not need to 
# be specified.

; First the base driver must be loaded for each adapter and frame type involved
; in the team.  As this example only uses 802.2, each adapter only has it's
; base driver loaded once.

load CE1000
load CE100B

; Second step is to load IANS.LAN to form the basis of a team.  For this
; example IANS is only loaded once.  If multiple frame types are used, iANS
; is loaded once for each frame type.

load IANS

; Once IANS.LAN is loaded, it looks like a protocol, so we can bind it to the
; physical adapter.  IANS.LAN needs to be bound to each physical adapter in
; the team.  The "PRIMARY" keyword is used to make iANS favor one particular
; adapter.  If a team loses the connection on it's primary adapter it will
; switch to the other adapter(s).  If the primary adapter recovers, iANS
: will switch back to it.  In mixed speed teams always set the fastest
; adapter in the team as the primary.

bind IANS CE1000 PRIMARY
bind IANS CE100B

; The commit command creates the team.  The default mode is AFT.  Since
; that is what this example is after, we do not need to specify a mode.

load IANS COMMIT

; Once the team has been committed, it looks like an adapter, so now we can
; bind protocols to IANS.

bind IPX IANS net=102

###############################################################################

# Example 2: 2 Adapter ALB Team with 2 PROTOCOLS (E_II Frame TYPE)

# This example is slightly more complicated.  It still only uses one frame
# type, but it uses Ethernet_II, which is not the default and must be specified.
# It will be a load balanced team (ALB) of PRO/100 adapters and have both IPX
# and IP bound to the IANS team.  This example assumes a server with 2 PRO/100
# adapters, one in PCI slot 1 and the other in PCI slot 2.

;Load TCPIP.NLM.  This can be done at any point before binding IP.
load TCPIP

; Load the base drivers for each adapter in the team.  Since the default frame
; type (802.2) is not the one in use, the frame type (Ethernet_II) must be
; specified on the driver load line.  Also, as two different PRO/100 adapters 
; are in use, each one needs to be assigned a name for later reference.

load CE100B slot=1 frame=ETHERNET_II name=Primary_CE100B_II
load CE100B slot=2 frame=ETHERNET_II name=Scndary_CE100B_II

; Load IANS.LAN to form the groundwork for the team.  Again, the frame type
; needs to be specified as it is not the default.  If multiple frame types,
; multiple VLANs or multiple teams get used then this command requires that
; a "name" is issued for each instance of IANS.  In this example a "name"
; for the team is optional.

load IANS frame=ETHERNET_II

; Bind IANS.LAN to each physical adapter using the names we defined when
; the base drivers were loaded

bind IANS Primary_CE100B_II
bind IANS Scndary_CE100B_II

; Create the team in load balancing mode.

load IANS COMMIT MODE=ALB

; bind both IPX and IP as if IANS was a physical adapter.

bind IPX IANS net=111
bind IP IANS Address=192.168.1.1 Mask=255.255.255.0

# Example 3: 2 TEAMS - 2 adapter AFT team and 4 Adapter FEC team

# This example will make 2 teams.  The first will be a fault tolerant team of 
# a Gigabit Server Adapter (CE1000.LAN) and a PRO/100 (CE100B.LAN). The second 
# team will consist of four PRO/100 adapters (CE100B.LAN) configured as a "Fast
# Ether Channel" team.  Note that the term "Fast Ether Channel" is a term that 
# refers to Cisco's implementation of 100MB port aggregation.  With Gigabit 
# teams it would technically be called "Gigabit Ether Channel", or "GEC". This 
# example uses IPX on both Ethernet 802.2 and Ethernet II.  It also uses IP on 
# Ethernet II.

# Example 4: 1 Adapter, 4 FrameTypes, 2 802.1q VLANs, 2 Protocols

# Now for VLAN...
# In order to use iANS.LAN in VLAN mode, the adapter (or adapters) need to
# be connected to a "tagged" port on an IEEE 802.1Q compliant switch.  This 
# example uses 802.1Q VLAN which is supported by all new Intel adapters and 
# most of the older ones.  It will use a single 8255x based adapter and be 
# configured for two VLANs, VLAN id 5 and VLAN id 6.  It will also use all  
# four NetWare frame types and bind both the IPX and IP protocols.

;load TCPIP.NLM.  Must be done before IP is bound.

; load ians and specify the vlanid for each frame type and each VLAN the 
; server is supposed to be part of.  On a single team configuration "team=1"
; is optional as that is the default setting.

; First ians is loaded for vlan 5, assigning a name of 5xx to each instance.

load ians vlanid=5 frame=ethernet_802.2 name=582 team=1
load ians vlanid=5 frame=ethernet_802.3 name=583 team=1
load ians vlanid=5 frame=ethernet_snap  name=5sp team=1
load ians vlanid=5 frame=ethernet_ii    name=5ii team=1

; Then ians is loaded for vlan 6, assigning a name of 6xx to each instance.

load ians vlanid=6 frame=ethernet_802.2 name=682 team=1
load ians vlanid=6 frame=ethernet_802.3 name=683 team=1
load ians vlanid=6 frame=ethernet_snap  name=6sp team=1

  • Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).

  • If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.

  • Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.

  • Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.

  • Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.

  • From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.

  • Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.

Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
