| CHSM ODI driver for Netware Server 4.11, 4.2 and 5.0 | Download Now! | April 1999 | C-ODI (CHSM) driver for Novell Netware New Features and Enhancements:
Support for multiple switches for PermaNet Link Fault Tolerance added.
Support for PermaNet Server Link Fault Tolerance (LFT), Dynamic Load Balancing & Port Aggregation (DLB/PAg) and Fast EtherChannel (FEC).
PermaNet Server Link Fault Tolerance (LFT) Technology provides cost effective and reliable solution for a redundant network connection to enhance server availability. AMD’s AODI for Novell, CODI for Novell, OS2 NDIS2 and NDIS4 for Windows NT are now enhanced to support LFT in single switch and multiple switch configurations.
PermaNet Server Port Aggregation and Dynamic Load Balancing is an enhanced feature of AMD drivers that balances and aggregates outgoing traffic from the server using multiple adapter links. It Provides scalable server bandwidth in 100 Mbps increments up to 400 Mbps of outgoing traffic. This feature is supported on CODI for Novell, Unixware 7 and NDIS4 (Beta) driver for Windows NT 4.0.
Fast EtherChannel is the name of a feature implementation and standard defined by Cisco. This feature aggregates multiple full-duplex Fast EtherChannel links into a single logical channel between two devices (LAN switches, routers or servers). In combining multiple links, the connection can carry greater amounts of data and provide protection against link failures. Fast EtherChannel provides a scalable connection (used typically in a building "riser" or a backbone) comprised of two or more physical links. With two or more links, the AMD Fast EtherChannel implementation can:
- transfer more data by balancing the load across the links
- achieve link redundancy by re-balancing the load around failed links
- provide fast convergence around failed or reconnected links
If you are using Netware 4.11, please have Service Pack 6 installed on your system or if you are using Netware 5.0, install Service Pack 1. These Service Packs may be downloaded from Novell's website at www.novell.com.
