Why each option
Native IP protocol support arrived with NetWare 5.x; all 3.x and 4.x releases relied exclusively on IPX/SPX.
OES NetWare supports IP as its primary network protocol, continuing the IP-first architecture introduced in NetWare 5 and allowing pure-IP deployments without IPX/SPX.
NetWare 3.1 was built entirely on the IPX/SPX protocol stack and contained no native IP support.
NetWare 5.1 introduced native IP support and was among the first versions to allow administrators to run an entirely IP-based network, removing the mandatory dependency on IPX/SPX.
NetWare 4.2 relied on IPX/SPX for all network communication and did not include native IP protocol support.
NetWare 4.0 used only IPX/SPX and could not function as a native IP server.
NetWare 4.11 (IntranetWare) provided limited IP tunneling and gateway features but did not support IP as a native server-side protocol.
