FILE: INTRODUCTION

This package of 7 diskettes contains the IBM Multiprotocol Network
Program (MPNP) Configuration Program, Version 1 Release 4.0 (V1R4).

V1 R4.0 of the Configuration Program is shipped on 7 diskettes.
 - Diskettes 1-5 contain the Configuration Program
 - WIN32S diskettes are on 2 separate diskettes.

NOTE: The WIN32S diskettes are only needed for running the Configuration
Program on MS-Windows workstations. If you have not already installed
WIN32S, you must do so in order to run the Configuration Program on this
platform. In otherwords, you do not need to install WIN32S on AIX and OS/2
platforms.

PTF NP00668 of the MPNP Version 1 Release 4 Configuration Program replaces
PTF NP00667. NP00668 can be used to configure MPNP V1R4 or the enhanced
function shipped in MPNP PTF NP00640 or NP00642.
The enhanced function shipped in MPNP PTF NP00640 included:
  o BGP4
  o Multiple Logical IP Addresses
  o SMDS
  o Priority Filters
  o IPX SAP and RIP Enhancements
  o TCP Keepalive and Retransmission Options
The enhanced function shipped in MPNP PTF NP00642 included:
  o IPX over SMDS
  o SDLC Switched Dial In
  o IPHelper

 Note: If you configure any of these enhanced functions via the Configuration
       Program NP00668 but your 6611s are not at MPNP PTF NP00640 or NP00642,
       the enhanced functions are generally ignored until PTF NP00640 or
       NP00642 are activated.
       However there are no guarantees here. You should not configure advanced
       functions unless your 6611s are at the appropriate PTF level for those
       functions (NP00640 or later).


PTF NP00668 also relaxes some restrictions imposed on Locally Administered
MAC Addresses in V1R4 and recent V1R3 code. With this change, the 6611 is now
more in line with the 2210 and other routers.
