Has anyone out there gotten a Kinetics FastPath 4 to work with the Kstar
software (V7.0 supplied by Kinetics) to do split subnetting (option 9 in
fastpath manager V5.0). This should let us assign an address (class B
network) in subnet 64.0 to the ethernet side of the KFP, and use addresses
in subnet 66.0 for the Macs. Both netmasks are assigned as fffffe00. I want
to do this to cut down on the numbers of IP-addresses that I'm using on my
base subnet. (I have 4 subnets available to me and I want to assign one
of them to Macs & PC's over appletalk)
I've been running with non-split subnets (no option 9), but that forces
all the Mac IP addresses to be on my base subnet which is non-optimal
(it works, it's just not exactally what I want to do.) As soon as I
turn option 9 on, everything breaks. I've added a route on my unix host
that should route any 66.0 traffic through 65.34 (the KFP). If I try to
ping the KFP's ethernet side from the Unix host, I get a proper
response. If I try to ping the KFP's appletalk side (in
split-subnetting), Ping reports 100% packet loss.
Any Clues???
