This PTF (PTF-F112) file fixes a bug that causes the NetWare v3.1 server to ABEND when IP packets are fragmented within IPTunnel.

INSTALLATION
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Installation of the patch is performed at a workstation with about 1mb of free disk space and connection to the NetWare server containing the IPTUNNEL.LAN to be updated. The procedure is:
- create a temporary area on the workstation
- load the patch files and the IPTUNNEL.LAN in the temporary area
- execute the patch
- transfer the updated IPTUNNEL.LAN back to the server

Though the procedure updates the IPTUNNEL.LAN from the server, IPTUNNEL.LAN from the SYSTEM-3 NetWare 3.11 diskette can be used and later loaded on the server. IPTUNNEL.LAN can be found on the SYSTEM-3 diskette in the directory \TCPIP\SYSTEM.

1) On the workstation, create a temporary directory to contain the patch files and a sub directory to contain IPTUNNEL.LAN.
        MKDIR \TEMP
        CD \TEMP
        MKDIR IPTEMP

2) Load the patch files to the directory TEMP. (This procedure assumes the patch files are on diskette. Drive A is used for the location of the patch files.)
        COPY A:*.*

3) Login or attach to the NetWare server as supervisor and map a drive to SYS:SYSTEM. (Drive X: is used for demonstration purposes.)
        ATTACH servername\SUPERVISOR
        PASSWORD:password
        MAP X:=servername\SYS:SYSTEM

4) Remove the READ ONLY attribute from IPTUNNEL.LAN and create a backup copy.
        X:
        FLAG IPTUNNEL.LAN N
        NCOPY IPTUNNEL.LAN IPTUNNEL.SAV

5) Copy IPTUNNEL.LAN to the temporary directory.
        NCOPY X:IPTUNNEL.LAN C:\TEMP\IPTEMP\IPTUNNEL.LAN

6). Set the current directory to the temporary directory containing the Patch files and execute the patch.
        C:
        CD \TEMP
        PATCH IPT102

7) Check the date and size of the file IPTUNNEL.LAN to ensure the file is updated.
        DIR IPTEMP\IPTUNNEL.LAN

The file date should now be 10-19-91 and the byte count should be 6061.

8) Copy IPTUNNEL.LAN back to SYS:SYSTEM
        NCOPY C:\TEMP\IPTEMP\IPTUNNEL.LAN X:IPTUNNEL.LAN

9) Set the current drive to the Network drive and replace the READ ONLY attribute to IPTUNNEL.LAN.
        X:
        FLAG IPTUNNEL.LAN ROS

10) Logout of the server and delete the temporary directories.
        LOGOUT servername
        C:
        CD \TEMP\IPTEMP
        DEL *.*
        CD ..
        DEL *.*
        RMDIR IPTEMP
        CD ..
        RMDIR TEMP

11) If the IPTUNNEL is currently loaded, go to the server console, unload the module and reload the IPTUNNEL.LAN.
        :UNLOAD IPTUNNEL.LAN
        :LOAD IPTUNNEL.LAN

The update is now complete. Refer to the NetWare TCP/IP Supervisor's Guide for usage of IPTUNNEL.

IPTUNNEL.LAN will be updated to v1.02 dated October 19, 1991. The original file has a byte count of 5912. The updated file has a byte count of 6061.

FIXES
-----------------------------------------------------------------
IPTUNNEL.LAN v1.02 fixes a bug that caused the server to ABEND when IP packets are fragmented within the IP tunnel.

INSTALLATION
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Installation of the patch is performed at a workstation with about 1mb of free disk space and connection to the NetWare server containing the IPTUNNEL.LAN to be updated. The procedure is:
- create a temporary area on the workstation
- load the patch files and the IPTUNNEL.LAN in the temporary area
- execute the patch
- transfer the updated IPTUNNEL.LAN back to the server

Though the procedure updates the IPTUNNEL.LAN from the server, IPTUNNEL.LAN from the SYSTEM-3 NetWare 3.11 diskette can be used and later loaded on the server. IPTUNNEL.LAN can be found on the SYSTEM-3 diskette in the directory \TCPIP\SYSTEM.

1) On the workstation, create a temporary directory to contain the patch files and a sub directory to contain IPTUNNEL.LAN.
        MKDIR \TEMP
        CD \TEMP
        MKDIR IPTEMP

2) Load the patch files to the directory TEMP. (This procedure assumes the patch files are on diskette. Drive A is used for the location of the patch files.)
        COPY A:*.*

3) Login or attach to the NetWare server as supervisor and map a drive to SYS:SYSTEM. (Drive X: is used for demonstration purposes.)
        ATTACH servername\SUPERVISOR
        PASSWORD:password
        MAP X:=servername\SYS:SYSTEM

4) Remove the READ ONLY attribute from IPTUNNEL.LAN and create a backup copy.
        X:
        FLAG IPTUNNEL.LAN N
        NCOPY IPTUNNEL.LAN IPTUNNEL.SAV

5) Copy IPTUNNEL.LAN to the temporary directory.
        NCOPY X:IPTUNNEL.LAN C:\TEMP\IPTEMP\IPTUNNEL.LAN

6). Set the current directory to the temporary directory containing the Patch files and execute the patch.
        C:
        CD \TEMP
        PATCH IPT102

7) Check the date and size of the file IPTUNNEL.LAN to ensure the file is updated.
        DIR IPTEMP\IPTUNNEL.LAN

The file date should now be 10-19-91 and the byte count should be 6061.

8) Copy IPTUNNEL.LAN back to SYS:SYSTEM
        NCOPY C:\TEMP\IPTEMP\IPTUNNEL.LAN X:IPTUNNEL.LAN

9) Set the current drive to the Network drive and replace the READ ONLY attribute to IPTUNNEL.LAN.
        X:
        FLAG IPTUNNEL.LAN ROS

10) Logout of the server and delete the temporary directories.
        LOGOUT servername
        C:
        CD \TEMP\IPTEMP
        DEL *.*
        CD ..
        DEL *.*
        RMDIR IPTEMP
        CD ..
        RMDIR TEMP

11) If the IPTUNNEL is currently loaded, go to the server console, unload the module and reload the IPTUNNEL.LAN.
        :UNLOAD IPTUNNEL.LAN
        :LOAD IPTUNNEL.LAN

The update is now complete. Refer to the NetWare TCP/IP Supervisor's Guide for usage of IPTUNNEL.
