Section 1 of the Primary DSS Server Configuration Worksheet identifies the primary DSS server for your NetWare/IP domain and specifies the IPX network number you have assigned to your NetWare/IP internetwork. The IPX network number enables the NetWare/IP internetwork to function as a virtual IPX network; the IPX network number you choose must be unique throughout your internetwork.

Section 2 specifies the tunable parameter settings you wish to use on your NetWare/IP internetwork. The tunable parameters are configured at the primary DSS server. These parameter values are then downloaded to all secondary DSS servers, NetWare/IP servers, and NetWare/IP clients. Thus, these parameters determine performance network-wide. As their name implies, you can adjust the tunable parameters as needed to optimize network performance. For a description of each tunable parameter, see Primary DSS Configuration Form

Performance monitoring has indicated that Acme can benefit from increasing the DSS-NetWare/IP server and primary-secondary DSS database synchronization intervals. Their overall configuration is sufficiently stable that less frequent updates will not impact availability of services, and the decreased traffic will benefit throughput. Acme Company decides to use the default values for all other tunable parameters.

Section 3 provides tables for indicating DSS SAP filters. Acme has not decided to implement DSS SAP filtering at this time.
