A simple question: Has it been determined that NetWare 6 supports BorderManager 3.5 or BorderManager 3.6?

Dear Bordered: Yes, BorderManager 3.6 with Support Pack 1a is supported. A TID with the following information should be released now.

"How to install BorderManager 3.6 on NetWare 6"

Version: Novell BorderManager 3.6

OS: Novell NetWare 6

Installation Steps:

Verify that the LAN cards you plan on using are tested and approved on NetWare 6.
Install NetWare 6.
Reboot the server and verify that the new server operating system reloads properly. Load INETCFG and transfer all LOAD and BINDS to the NETINFO file.

Check the PROTOCOLS > TCPIP option. Make sure IP Packet Forwarding is set to Enabled ("Router") if you have multiple LAN cards. Also, make sure that LAN Static Routing is enabled and that a Default Route has been specified. Check the DNS Resolver Configuration and the addresses of DNS servers.
Reboot the server. Make sure INETCFG is not loaded.
Place the BorderManager 3.6 CD in the CD drive and load CD. The BMEE36 volume should mount.
Install BorderManager from the X Server Graphical Console. Install from the root of the BorderManager 3.6 CD that should now be mounted.

After the BorderManager 3.6 install process, you must immediately install BM36SP1A.EXE.

Note: Do not reboot the server before installing BM36SP1A.EXE . The BorderManager 3.6 install will downgrade many critical OS NLMs that need to be replaced prior to rebooting the server. Otherwise, it will Abend when it reloads. BM36SP1A.EXE will put the original files back in place.
