I have been given responsibility for many of our FastPaths here and,
after RTFM'ing as much as I can find, I have a question (or maybe
two). I know that I need an IPTalk network port (N or H line)
configured in my atalkatab file for each FastPath that supports an
IPTalk-based CAP host. This is clear and obvious. I _think_ I do
_not_ need one for the FastPaths that will be doing IP encapsulation
across our IP-only backbone if they are not supporting CAP hosts. Is
this correct? For example, consider the following two FastPaths on a
subnetted class B network:
1.1 K 128.210.1.1 "PUCC-Local1" # LocalTalk port
2.1 E 128.210.1.1 "PUCC-Ether1" # EtherTalk phase 1 port
<miscellaneous configuration details for this box>
1.2 K 128.210.2.1 "PUCC-Local2" # LocalTalk port on box 2
2.2 E 128.210.2.1 "PUCC-Ether2" # EtherTalk phase 1 port, box2
<miscellaneous configuration details for this box>
Assuming an IP-only network connects these two subnets, can Macs on
each network communicate with all others Macs on other networks or do
I need to add lines like:
3.1 H 128.210.1.1 "PUCC-IP1" # IPTalk port
3.2 H 128.210.2.1 "PUCC-IP2" # IPTalk port, box 2
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
