[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] Help with Annex SLIP & PCroute

was@gdwb.oz.au (Warren Stokes) (06/14/91)

I am having some trouble using my recently purchased Annex IIe for a SLIP
link connecting two class B networks.  The setup is as follows:


		128.184 Class B 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
               |
	       |
          -----------
	  | PCroute | 			PCroute is 2.2
	  -----------
	       |   128.184.201.1
	  -----------
	  | Modem   |
	  -----------
	       |
	       |
	       |

	       |   128.184.201.2
         -------------				--------------
	 | Annex IIe |				|  Sun       |
	 -------------				--------------
	       |   138.19.4.3			       |  138.19.1.10
	       |				       |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
		138.19 Class B


Pinouts for Annex port to modem are as follows:

Annex Port		Modem DB25

   TxD			   2
   RxD			   3
   RTS			   4
   CTS			   5
   Gnd			   7

   DTR			  20

Setup for annex port running slip is:

               toggle_output: ^O
               telnet_escape: ^]
          slip_local_address: 128.184.201.2
         slip_remote_address: 128.184.201.1
            slip_subnet_mask: 255.255.255.0
         slip_load_dump_host: 0.0.0.0

             slip_allow_dump: Y
              cli_inactivity: off
               port_password: "<unset>"
         broadcast_direction: port



On the Annex, the gateways file is:

host 128.184.201.1 gateway 138.19.4.3 metric 1 hardwired
net 128.184.0.0 gateway 138.19.4.3 metric 2 hardwired
net 128.184.0.0 gateway 128.184.201.1 metric 1 hardwired

I also did the following on the sun - 138.19.1.10.  (Note that
the network 138.19 is NOT subnetted.)

route add net 128.184.201.0 138.19.4.3 1



With all the above set up I can ping 128.184.201.1 successfully when
on a VCLI port on the annex but cannot ping the same address from the
sun (138.19.1.10).  The ping from the sun does increase the CharTx
count on the annex port used for SLIP so the routing seems correct.
Also from the other end (128.184.0.0), pings to 128.184.201.2 do not
work but again using the stats command I can see the CharRx count
increase with each ping packet.

Has anyone successfully run a configuration like this?
Is there any known incompatibilities between Annex SLIP and PCroute?
Can anyone see anything wrong with my setup?


Sorry about the length of this!!
