1. Load network adapter (if required)

   Use the "load" command as shown below.
   
   Example:

   For DEC21040 adapters	For Intel i8255x adapters
   load DE500BA/dec21x4x NIC	load DE602/i8255x NIC

   
   

   Note
   In AlphaStation 400 configuration use the following syntax for network adapter loading: load DE500AA/dec21x4x NIC irq_bus=isa

    By default each loaded virtual network adapter uses first available PCI slot. If instead some particular slot is neded, refer to this section for details of specific placement of PCI peripherals on CHARON-AXP PCI bus.
   
   

2. Load "packet_port" or "tap_port" 

   Load "packet_port" or "tap_port" to connect network adapter to the host hardware network card (or to a virtual network interface).
   
   Example:

   load packet_port/chnetwrk NDIS interface = "eth1"

              

3. Connect the loaded "packet_port" ("tap_port") to the loaded virtual network adapter

   Connect the network adapter to the "packet_port" ("tap_port") by setting the interface name.
   
   Example:

   set NIC interface = NDIS
